DepakoteBirthDefectsNews.com : New Depakote Lawsuit Website Launched to Help Victims of Birth Defects
Women, who were prescribed by their doctors the anti-convulsant drug Depakote (divalproex sodium) way back in 1983, took it without question hoping to be alleviated from their random epileptic seizures. For those who have bipolar disorder, taking it meant hope to ease the pain of manic episodes associated with their ailment. However, little did they and their doctors knew that serious side effects awaited their unborn child. Since then, many American women have filed lawsuits against Abbott Laboratories for what we now know as Depakote birth defects and the court battle continues to this very day.
