Zofran’s Untold Story

When Zofran was approved by the FDA in 1991, it was only approved for use with cancer patients suffering from extreme nausea caused by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. However, pharmaceutical giant GSK soon began marketing Zofran to pregnant women without FDA approval or adequate testing. In fact, GSK had evidence in the 1980’s that suggested birth defects were a possible risk of taking Zofran.

GSK did not perform a single clinical trial to test the risks of exposing human fetuses and their mothers to Zofran before actively targeting pregnant mothers. Thousands of mothers took Zofran fully believing it was safe but unfortunately GSK valued profits far more than the safety of unborn children and their mothers. Because of these unethical and illegal activities, thousands of families’ lives were forever changed and many families filed Zofran birth defect lawsuits. In 2012, GSK pled guilty to criminal charges brought against them by the United States government for these activities and other illegal business practices.
