Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome
Was Your Baby Born WithNeonatal Abstinence Syndrome?
If your newborn suffered from Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) after you were prescribed opioids during pregnancy, you are not alone. NAS is a condition where a newborn experiences withdrawal symptoms from opioid exposure in the womb. It can cause a range of physical and neurological symptoms, such as tremors, seizures, excessive crying, and feeding difficulties.
What Is the Lawsuit About?
Many lawsuits have been filed against manufacturers of opioid-based drugs for misleading patients and doctors about the safety of long-term use of the drugs for pain management and other issues that could have been treated with non-opioid based substances. Women who found themselves addicted after simply following doctor’s orders had to continue taking the drugs through pregnancy because suddenly stopping the use of opioids could lead to miscarriage. That resulted in an increase in the number of babies exposed to opioids in-utero and born with neonatal abstinence syndrome. Manufacturers are being blamed and plaintiffs are seeking to hold them responsible for the medical needs of these babies.
Why Would I Qualify For This Lawsuit?
If Any of the Questions Below Apply To You, You May Qualify:
- Are you a woman who received a prescription for opioids to manage pain?
- Did you use opioid-based drugs for several months or years?
- Did you become addicted to opioids?
- Were you advised to continue taking opioids through pregnancy?
- Was your baby born with neonatal abstinence syndrome?
