Updated information on Diethylstilbestrol (DES)

Starting in the mid-1940s, physicians prescribed Diethylstilbestrol (DES) to pregnant women with high risk pregnancies to prevent miscarriage. After researchers obtained information about the side effects of DES, the drug was later shown to cause serious health issues in both the women who took DES and their children, particularly their daughters.

New information showed that the daughters of patients who took Diethylstilbestrol (DES) were likely to develop structural changes in their reproductive organs, experience infertility and pregnancy problems, and be at greater risk of developing a rare type of cancer called adenocarcinoma. In 1971, the Food Drug Administration ordered that Diethylstilbestrol (DES) no longer be prescribed to pregnant women.

For more information, visit the detailed Diethylstilbestrol (DES) resource page.

If you or a faily member have suffered complications from DES exposure, you may be eligible to file a legal claim against the drug manufacturer and collect significant financial compensation. Please fill out this simple form for more information about Diethylstilbestrol.

Inquire about your case and receive updated information as soon as possible. Litigation may be the only way to receive the damages to which you may be entitled, such as medical and health care bills, lost or diminished wages, and financial compensation to family in the case of death. Your individual state's law may limit your time to bring a legal claim to protect your rights.
