Lexapro birth defects which have allegedly developed in infants of mothers taking the drug during pregnancy may include skull and heart defects, according to a new alert on Class Action.org. Reportedly, the use of Lexapro and other SSRIs during pregnancy can increase the mother’s chances of giving birth to a child with birth defects.

It has been alleged that taking SSRI drugs like Lexapro during pregnancy may increase the risk of several serious birth defects affecting various parts of the body. Tetralogy of fallot (TOF), hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), and transposition of the great arteries (TGA) are among the Lexapro heart defects which may reportedly develop from use of the drug during pregnancy. The development of craniosynostosis, a skull defect which causes an abnormally shaped head, and omphalocele, an abdominal condition which causes the intestines to protrude through the navel, have also reportedly been linked to SSRI use during pregnancy.
