New Case: SSRI Birth Defects Caused Infant’s Death

There are few warnings about selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRI) birth defects, and it cost one family dearly. A recently filed cases alleges that a woman’s Paxil side effects led directly to the death of her daughter. A variety of holes in the heart kept the infant from making it more than two weeks.

One issue for patients like this woman is the disparity in labeling among the various antidepressants. For example, the woman took both Zoloft and Paxil. However, while there was a warning of some sort for Paxil side effects, she had no idea about the other drug because there are no Zoloft birth defects warnings. It is likely that the combination of the drugs caused the extensive damage to her daughter in the womb.

Unfortunately, it is not an uncommon occurrence. In addition to heart problems, Zoloft birth defects can include brain lesions and other difficulties, as well as limb deformities. These all can contribute to families filing claims with Celexa wrongful death lawsuit lawyers if things end tragically. However, even among those whose children make it through alive, SSRI birth defects can require a lifetime of treatment and therapy.

Celexa wrongful death lawsuit lawyers note that while their cases are worse, some families may watch a child never reach its full potential.

It all happens because many in this class of antidepressants may have poor or inadequate side effects warnings. In fact, some of the drugs simply do not carry any advisory to patients that they could be risking their child’s health by trying to improve their mental health.
