Zoloft birth defects can reportedly include lung, abdominal, skull and heart defects, according to a new alert posted on Class Action.org.

Several studies and reports have linked the SSRI Zoloft to serious birth defects. In 2006, the FDA released an alert regarding SSRI birth defects, warning the public that infants born to mothers who took SSRIs such as Zoloft after the 20th week of pregnancy were six times more likely to have persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) than children who were not exposed to antidepressants while in the womb. Then, a National Birth Defects Prevention Study found that infants exposed to SSRI antidepressants during pregnancy were more likely to have abnormal skull development or gastrointestinal abnormalities. The potential for
Zoloft birth defects was also revealed in a study published in the British Medical Journal which found that SSRIs may increase the risk of congenital heart defects when taken during the first trimester of pregnancy, a time when many women are unaware of their pregnancy.
Potential Zoloft birth defects can reportedly include holes in the heart, spina bifida, heart valve problems, skull defects and omphalocele, a condition which causes the intestines or abdominal organs to protrude through the navel. Mothers who took the drug during pregnancy and delivered children with these or other
Zoloft birth defects may need to pay for costly surgeries or other medical care to treat their child’s injuries. Those who elect to take legal action may be able to make a claim to recover the cost of these medical bills and other damages.
