Albany Misoprostol Birth Injury Lawyer

The drug misoprostol — distributed under the brand name Cytotec — is widely used to induce labor despite known risks of uterine rupture, hemorrhage, amniotic fluid embolism and other serious consequences. Doctors who misuse Cytotec in this way deserve to be held accountable.

At the Albany-based law firm of Law offices of Sanford Rosenblum, my experienced New York Cytotec side effect attorneys help parents throughout Upstate New York pursue compensation for birth injuries and material injuries caused by misoprostol misuse.

Holding Doctors Accountable for Reckless Behavior

Cytotec was developed exclusively to treat gastric ulcers. Many doctors, however, have used it to ripen the cervix and promote labor induction. The manufacturer of the drug, Searle, and the FDA have warned doctors against this off-label misuse.

Many doctors increase the risks associated with Cytotec by vaginally administering pills that have been manually broken up into pieces. This is particularly dangerous because the precise dosage of the drug that mothers end up absorbing cannot be controlled.

Investigating Your Case to Determine Whether Cytotec Was a Factor

My firm is exclusively focused on handling complex cases requiring extensive attention from experienced attorneys and credible medical experts. My attorneys are experienced at holding obstetricians accountable for Cytotec misuse and other types of medical malpractice.
