Lexapro Birth Defects

Lexapro Birth Defects May Qualify Women for Lawsuit

Women who took Lexapro during pregnancy and delivered children with Lexapro birth defects may have legal recourse. The use of SSRI drugs during pregnancy has reportedly been linked to a risk of birth defects in newborns, and with Lexapro belonging to this class of antidepressants, pregnant users of the drugs who delivered children with heart, skull or abdominal defects may be able to seek financial compensation due to the manufacturer's failure to warn of this serious side effect. Parents looking to take legal action for their Lexapro birth defects claim are advised to act quickly, however, as there is a time limit for filing all SSRI injury cases.
