The California Superior Court is taking on a new Zofran pharmaceutical lawsuit after a child was allegedly born with birth defects caused by the prescription medication. The mother filed her lawsuit on March 6 of this year, despite the boy having been born in 2010.
Recently, there have been three Zofran lawsuits, and all of them dealing with birth defects. This specific case revolves around the child having been born with supraventricular tachycardia that was allegedly caused by Zofran.
Facts for Supraventricular Tachycardia
Supraventricular tachycardia is a heart condition involving a rapid heartbeat that is above 100 beats per minute. The heartbeat is so rapid that the muscles of the heart do not have time to relax, which means they do not fill with enough blood or oxygen for the brain. Fortunately, supraventricular tachycardia is almost never life threatening.
Symptoms of this condition include rapid breathing, chest pain, vomiting, paleness in color, shortness of breath and fainting, among many other problems. There is medical treatment available that can help someone live with supraventricular tachycardia, but like most ongoing medical treatment, it can be expensive.
If your child was born with a birth defect caused by bad prescription medication, then you may have a strong case for a lawsuit to help you pay for the medical costs for the care your child will need.
