A Prozac Birth Defect Lawsuit May Be the Only Solution to Help Your Child
|
Prozac, an antidepressant prescribed in over 90 countries to treat numerous disorders and panic attacks, has been linked to birth defects. The drug will increase the risks of birth defects if the mother takes the medication during pregnancy.
One of the birth defects that can affect your infant is persistent pulmonary hypertension, a serious health condition that occurs right after the baby is born. The organs and tissues of the baby need oxygenated blood to function properly. The lungs are responsible for delivering oxygenated blood to these organs. The baby, if still in the mother, will not have functioning lungs and will receive all oxygenated blood needed from the mother through the umbilical cord. Once the baby is born, the lungs will start working normally and will distribute oxygenated blood to all organs and tissues. If the baby suffers from PPHN, the lungs will continue to be inactive even after birth causing the baby to be at risk of dying.
The drug company that makes Prozac has failed to supply sufficient and clear warnings about these side effects causing numerous mothers to experience such unfortunate events. All these women are entitled to receive considerable amounts of compensation to cover all the harm produced. Is compensation enough to get over these birth defects? Not always, but in all circumstances compensation is of great help especially because it covers all medical care expenses (both present and long term ones).
Filing a Prozac birth defect lawsuit may be the best thing you can do for your baby in order to ensure he has a life closer to normal. Such events are no doubt hard to get over, but with the right medical and legal help, these moments will fade away and let you and your child enjoy life at its fullest. A good and specialized lawyer with years of experience in this particular field will maximize your chances of getting properly compensated and will take away some of the stress.
