Epilim (Sodium Valproate) Birth Defects

The question arises as to a link to autism, behavioural problems and or developmental delay.

 How can we help?

If you need guidance pursuing a Medical Negligence claim such as this, Marcella Sheehy with years of experience and in-depth knowledge can meet with you for a consultation.

Each case requires diligence and expertise to review the potential link that may exist from a mother’s treatment received pre and during birth and assess to whether negligence may have caused a child’s subsequent development of autism, behavioural problems and or developmental delay.

The High Court has approved a case where a mother was given the epilepsy drug Epilim while she was pregnant. In this case the neurologist did not discuss the risks associated with Epilim with the mother and after birth a diagnose of autism spectrum disorder came to light.

This case and the others following, should now open the door for others who through no fault of their own, deserve to be vindicated and their family needs catered for.
