In the investigation of antidepressants and birth defects, we continue to represent families where the mother took one of the drugs (especially in their third trimester) and the child was born with birth defects.
The brand names of the most well-known of these drugs include Celexa, Cymbalta, Effexor, Lexapro, Luvox, Paxil, Prozac and Zoloft. For a comprehensive list of the SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) or SNRI (serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor) drugs, see our firm’s webpage on antidpressants and birth defects.
________________________
The most serious defect for the children is called “persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn” (PPHN). The baby might experience this at birth and beyond or develop later, ranging from serious to life-threatening, with organ failure and even death.
Symptoms include breathing and heart issues, as well as low oxygen that may present as “bluish” skin.
Children under 18 whose mothers took these drugs have experienced these severe and in some cases life-threatening birth defects that have required surgeries and other treatment. If you as the mother or someone in your family or friends took antidepressants and had children with PPHN, you should contact me immediately for a free no obligation consultation to learn your options. There may be compensation available to you, but there is a time limit.
Most people know if the drug they’ve taken is an antidepressant, but may not know it’s classified as one of the SSRI or SNRI drugs. Doctors do not always tell their patients what type of drug they are prescribing. All patients should always be advised what kind of drugs they are taking.
Again, you can see the comprehensive list of the SSRI and SNRI antidepressant drugs that are under investigation on our firm’s webpage, “Antidepressants and Birth Defects.”
