Why File a Lamictal Lawsuit

The FDA issued a black box warning for Lamictal in 1997 in regards to information showing that serious, life-threatening, and even fatal rashes were being reported in both adult and pediatric patients who had been taking the drug. Then in September 2006, the FDA began notifying physicians that pregnant women who took Lamictal during their first trimester were at a higher risk of giving birth to a child with a cleft palate or cleft lip. In January 2008, the FDA issued an alert concerning the potential of Lamictal and other anti-epileptic drugs to cause patients to have suicidal thoughts. Finally, in 2010 the FDA released a warning stating that the use of Lamictal can cause aseptic meningitis.
