Zoloft Attorneys Are Reviewing Birth Defect Claims

The Zoloft lawyers at Phillips Law Group are looking to hear from women who used Zoloft during their pregnancy and delivered a child a birth defect. There are pending lawsuits that are alleging that Zoloft causes birth defects and that the drug’s manufacturer, Pfizer, withheld information from doctors and patients about this risk. If you or a loved one used Zoloft while pregnant and delivered a child with a serious birth defect, you may be eligible to file a Zoloft lawsuit to seek compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering and other damages.

Zoloft is a prescription drug that is used to treat depression and mood disorders. Zoloft and its generic sertaline, belong to a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). SSRIs work by increasing the amount of serotonin in the brain, a natural substance that helps maintain mental balance.

Several studies have shown an association between Zoloft use and birth defects. These studies suggest that women who use Zoloft during pregnancy have a 60 percent higher, chance of giving birth to a child with a birth defect. In 2005, the Food and Drug Administration warned the public that there is a strong correlation between SSRI use during pregnancy and birth defects.  Common Zoloft birth defects include spina bifida, club foot, atrial septal defects, hypoplastic left heart syndrome and omphalocele.  Zoloft birth defects can be severe and life-altering for the babies and their families.  

The Arizona Zoloft attorneys at Phillips Law Group believe that the drug manufacturer failed to adequately warn the public about the birth defect risk. If your child has been born with a birth defect after you used Zoloft, you may have a legal claim against the drug manufacturer.
