Zoloft antidepressant may spark birth defect injuries

Throughout the USA, harmful defective drugs are plaguing small babies and their families. Such drugs can trigger birth defects to the newborn child’s lungs, heart, spine, brain and other vital organs, and these defects may mandate expensive surgery or treatments.

One of these defective drugs is Zoloft, an antidepressant. More precisely, defective drug Zoloft is what’s called an SSRI antidepressant, signifying that it is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Drugs such as Zoloft are known to be responsible for major birth defect injuries if the expectant mother took the antidepressant, particularly in the first trimester.

Due to hormonal imbalances and other factors, many pregnant women suffer from depression, and this should be treated. Yet sadly, while some antidepressant drugs help reduce anxiety or depression, the same drugs can spark devastating side effects, including various birth defect injuries.

Lexapro birth defect injuries can spring from using the defective antidepressant drug

Produced by Forest Laboratories, Lexapro is an SSRI antidepressant drug -- that is, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor -- and is used to treat depression.

When hormonal imbalances in pregnancy cause depression, some women are prescribed antidepressant drugs, and one such drug is Lexapro. But though it may ease depression, Lexapro also can cause serious side effects such as birth defects to their unborn child.

Some of these birth defect injuries are severe, including brain, lung, heart, spine, urinary tract and gastrointestinal injuries. Other Lexapro birth defects may include deformed or missing limbs such as an arm, hand, foot, finger, toe or leg, and also cleft palate and cleft lip.

Wellbutrin seizure-migraine drug may cause devastating birth defects of the brain, heart, lungs

Like several other defective drugs, such as antidepressant Paxil, a drug known as Wellbutrin can cause birth defects when used by a woman during pregnancy. And such victims cry out for support from an experienced defective drug lawyer in order to gain the financial compensation to which they’re legally entitled.

Also like Paxil, Wellbutrin is manufactured, marketed and sold by British-based pharmaceuticals giant GlaxoSmithKline, or GSK. That company has a history of inflicting harm on innocent persons via its defective drugs, from which it makes billions of dollars in sales.

Unlike Paxil, Wellbutrin is not an antidepressant but rather is sometimes prescribed for persons needing help with migraine headaches or seizures. Another such drug is Effexor, sometimes also known as Efexor.

Celexa defective antidepressant drug could have caused your baby’s birth defect

Sadly, some drugs in which women place their trust prove to be defective. The antidepressant Celexa is such a drug.

Produced by Forest Laboratories, Celexa is an SSRI antidepressant, meaning it is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor which can treat hormonal imbalances during pregnancy that cause severe depression. But in doing so, Celexa also may cause serious birth defect injuries to a pregnant woman’s unborn child -- injuries such as heart, lung, spine and brain ailments, as well as cleft lip, cleft palate, deformed limbs, abdominal injuries and other harm to the baby.

Those injuries are most likely to occur when a woman takes Celexa or another defective antidepressant during her first trimester.

Luvox, an SSRI antidepressant, may mean horrid birth defects for American babies

Americans across this great nation are being victimized by faceless corporations which make and peddle defective drugs for huge profits while shamefully harming innocent, unsuspecting users of their failed products -- even tiny babies.

These drugs include certain antidepressants which, if taken by pregnant women, can fuel damaging birth defects to the brain, lungs, spine, heart, urinary tract and other vital parts of babies’ bodies. These injuries often mandate expensive treatments and surgeries to save the child’s life.

Such defective drugs include an SSRI antidepressant called Luvox, also known as fluvoxamine maleate.

Being an SSRI means Luvox is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. This can ease depression or anxiety in a pregnant woman suffering from such conditions. But in the process, Luvox is known also to cause such birth defects as cleft lip, cleft palate, septal defects, heart defects and other serious injuries and side effects.

Remeron antidepressant, if used in pregnancy, can cause major birth defect injuries

Remeron while pregnant? If so, the cause of your child’s birth defect injury may be this defective drug.

Remeron is among antidepressant drugs which can lead to birth defects. Remeron is also known as mirtazapine and is a tetracyclic antidepressant. Besides treating depression, it also is used to treat anxiety.

Remeron is not an SSRI antidepressant but rather a NaSSA, meaning it is a noradrenergic and selective serotonergic antidepressant. Remeron has an impact on chemicals in the brain which can become out of balance, thus causing depression.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified Remeron as a category “C” drug for pregnancy, which constitutes a caution about Remeron’s possible birth defects as a side effect from using the drug during pregnancy.

When used by a woman while she’s pregnant, Remeron could trigger birth defects such as brain, lung and heart problems, as well as abdominal wall defects, limb defects and other birth defect injuries.

Paxil is an antidepressant which can cause birth defects

Across America, defective drugs are harming innocent children. These drugs can cause birth defects to the heart, lungs, brain, spine and other vital parts of the body -- injuries often requiring surgery and costly treatments. And one such drug is Paxil.

Paxil is an antidepressant. More specifically, it is an SSRI antidepressant, which means it’s a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Such drugs are known to cause serious birth defect injuries in newborn infants if their mother took the antidepressant during pregnancy, especially during her first trimester.

Faced with hormonal imbalances, pregnant women often endure severe depression, which needs to be treated. Unfortunately, some antidepressant drugs, though they may ease a woman’s depression or anxiety, have dangerous side effects such as birth defects to the woman’s unborn child.
