In recent months there have been a large number of Lexapro birth defects lawsuits filed by parents of children born with a birth defect after the mother used Lexapro during pregnancy. Many of the Lexapro birth defects lawsuits point to FDA warnings and birth defects studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine. But, is the research information gathered so far enough to help the makers and doctors determine the correct dose to give a pregnant women. As we know, a pregnant women body goes through many changes. A pregnant women taking an antidepressant drug also adding to the worries that come with pregnancy can be overwhelming. With not enough information at hand from the makers or the doctors about the labeling warnings "Why are pregnant women still being prescribed Antidepressant Drugs?" A question for your doctor if you happen to be taking an antidepressant drug and plan on having a child. Many birth defect concerns are on the rise and the consumer deserves to know the truth. Many of these antidepressants being prescribed today, especially those in the SSRI class, have raised concerns about birth defects and other type of adverse effects. Pregnant women or planning to get pregnant but taking an antidepressant drug is a big concern to so many unanswered questions. With Lexapro birth defects on the rise believed to be caused from antidepressant drugs, consumers deserve some answers. The makers of antidepressant drugs have created a monster income in sales of these type of drugs. One would think with a multibillion dollar industry, that the makers of antidepressant drugs would take responsibility in making sure that consumers are safe taking their pharmaceutical drugs. Perhaps they will cooperate one day in helping achieve more studies and information about the drugs side effects. Can they change the formula of the drugs to make them safer? What other options do pregnant women have with or without the antidepressant? Some of the Lexapro birth defects lawsuits allege congenital heart defects, omphalocele, Cleft palate, Spina Bifida and others. If you feel you are not being provided with the right answers, contact a birth defects lawyer. A Lexapro birth defects lawyer may not be able to provide all the right answers either. But, it may help you understand your rights and help you get some answers or compensation from the parties responsible. Consult with your doctor about these concerns. |
