Lexapro Lawsuits
Pharmaceutical companies have an obligation to warn the public and prescribing physicians about potential side effects that their drugs may cause. Lexapro has reportedly been linked to a number of birth defects in women who took Lexapro during pregnancy, but there may not have been sufficient warning to patients to whom it was prescribed. Lexapro is a Selective Serotonin Uptake Inhibitor (SSRI), and many of these drugs have been linked to complications in birth. Most lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturers of Paxil, another SSRI, but women who have delivered a child with Lexapro birth defects may be eligible for compensation through a Lexapro lawsuit as well.
If your child manifested any of the following reported SSRI and Lexapro birth defects, it may be in your best interest to speak with a Lexapro class action lawyer:
- Lexapro heart defects
- Abdominal wall defects (omphalocele)
- Anal atresia (closure of the anus)
- Skull defects (craniosynostosis)
- Limb defects, such as club foot
- Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN)
