Zoloft Lawsuit

Filing A Zoloft Lawsuit Against Pfizer May Be An Appropriate Course Of Action

[Posted on Dec 19]

While they didn’t know it at the time, many women who used Zoloft during their pregnancy put their unborn child at great risk of birth defects. It wasn’t the fault of these women or their doctors, it was the negligence of Pfizer, the makers of the medication. That’s the stance taken by those who have decided to file a Zoloft lawsuit against Pfizer. Studies have linked Zoloft, a commonly prescribed antidepressant with a number of congenital heart defects in newborns, including Patent Foramen Ovale, Truncus Arteriosus, Double Outlet Right Ventricle, Bicuspid Aortic Valve and many others.

The failure of Pfizer to provide adequate warnings about the risk of combining pregnancy and Zoloft should not go unpunished. There were alternative medications these women could have taken that are proven to be safe for use during pregnancy. They believed that Pfizer wouldn’t market and sell a medication without either doing the research or fully disclose all of the potential side effects the drug could cause. But that trust in Pfizer has had major consequences. Now they must watch as their newborn undergoes corrective surgeries in an attempt to overcome these Zoloft birth defects with the hope that the child will be able to live a normal and healthy life.

The last thing you need to worry about when your child is sick is how you’re going to pay for their medical care. A Zoloft lawsuit can give you the financial assistance you need by helping to pay for future medical expenses.
