SSRI Birth Defects

Pregnant women who have taken selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, during pregnancy, may be at risk of giving birth to a child with birth defects. To make matters worse, the manufacturers of these drugs are accused of failing to properly warn patients and doctors about these potentially devastating side effects.

ssriPopular drugs like Lexapro, Paxil, Celexa, Prozac, and Zoloft have all been linked to an increased risk of certain birth defects. Manufacturers of these antidepressant drugs had the duty to warn you and your doctor of the side effects. If your child was born with a birth defect while you were taking any of these drugs or other SSRIs, you can and should hold these pharmaceutical companies responsible.

You only have a short window of time to file a claim against these drug companies. At the Michael Brady Lynch Firm, we have a proven track record of success helping victims and their families. We’ll never be intimidated by the size of an opponent. We’re here to fight for you.

SSRIs and Birth Defects

Reports that women taking SSRIs are at greater risk of giving birth to babies with birth defects have been around for more than a decade. Birth defects from SSRIs can range from problems with a baby’s heart to abnormalities with the skull. Surgery is often required to address these birth defects, which can place a heavy financial burden on your family. Even years after the child’s birth and an initial surgery, some children born with SSRI birth defects will need more procedures as they age. This puts, even more, a strain on families that already are finding it hard to make ends meet.
