Zoloft Birth Defects

Tetralogy of Fallot

Zoloft, an antidepressant manufactured by Pfizer, has reportedly been linked to a number of birth defects, as have many other SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors). One of the most serious birth defects reportedly associated with SSRI use during pregnancy is tetralogy of fallot, a combination of four heart defects present when a baby is born.

If you took this SSRI during pregnancy and your baby was born with Zoloft tetralogy of fallot or any other heart defect, you may be able to take legal action against the manufacturer.

Tetralogy of Fallot Birth Defects

Tetralogy of fallot is characterized by four different heart conditions present at once:

• A ventricular septal defect (a hole in the heart) is present
• Pulmonary stenosis, or blood flow obstructed from the right ventricle to the lungs, is present
• The aorta lies over the hole in the heart
• The right ventricle become hypertrophic (the muscle over-thickens)

This combination of heart defects prevents blood from getting to the lungs and, therefore, getting oxygenated properly. This leads to numerous problems in infants, including:

• Bluish skin
• Slow growth and development
• Exhaustion and fainting episodes
• Improper feeding habits
