Zofran Lawsuit

Zofran, or Onansetron, has been noted as the most-prescribed pharmaceutical treatment for morning sickness in the United States. However, the FDA never approved Zofran to be used for morning sickness. Families of children who suffered birth defects after the mothers took Zofran while pregnant have sued Zofran’s original marketers over allegations that it marketed the drug to pregnant women without FDA approval and failed to warn about the potential risks associated with taking the drug while pregnant.
