ACE Inhibitors are drugs that are used to deal with high blood pressure problems. Although they’ve been on the market for several years, there have been serious problems detected in patients who have taken these drugs. Some of the side effects are relatively mild, while others are very severe.

Common side effects of ACE Inhibitors include coughing, dizziness and the loss of sense of taste. More severe side effects deal with the use of ACE Inhibitors in pregnant women. Studies have shown that women in their second or third trimester of pregnancy should not take these drugs due to a risk of serious birth defects. These types of defects generally cause irreversible damage to the heart and brain of the child, while some others may die.

If you or a loved one has already given birth to a child who has suffered from birth defects as a result of you taking ACE Inhibitors while you were pregnant, there are many legal and medical options available to you. You need to see a doctor to discuss a course of treatment for a child, and then consult with an experienced ACE Inhibitor attorney immediately. There are professional attorneys in your area that are qualified to help those who have been irreversibly harmed by the effects of taking ACE Inhibitors while pregnant.
