Zoloft Birth Defects

After Not Being Told Of The Risks For Years, Many Women Had Babies With Zoloft Birth Defects

[Posted on Dec 05]

Pfizer, one of the world’s largest drug companies, is again facing questions about their product Zoloft. Studies have linked the medication as a cause of a number of congenital heart conditions and physical deformities in newborn babies when the mother used Zoloft during the pregnancy. But the evidence of these Zoloft birth defects is not the first time that Pfizer has come under criticism for this same product. In 1996, the pharmaceutical company received warnings from the Federal Division of Drug Marketing, Advertising and Communications because they had been marketing Zoloft for non-label uses.

Unfortunately, Pfizer continued to exhibit negligence as it pertains to Zoloft and the results have been tragic. Children born with Zoloft birth defects, which can include conditions as wide ranging as Tetralogy of Fallot, Gastroschisis, Anal Atresia, Clubbed Foot and Craniosyntosis, require extensive medical care immediately after birth. In some cases corrective surgery will be performed in hopes of fixing the damage done by Zoloft and to give these children hope that they can live long and healthy lives. But those kinds of procedures are costly and parents of these children with Zoloft birth defects often have a difficult time paying their medical bills.

If you are among the former Zoloft users who discovered much too late the kind of harm the medication can do to your unborn child, then you should take legal action against Pfizer. Their failure to provide any warnings about potential Zoloft birth defects should not go unpunished.
