Wellbutrin® Birth Injuries

If your child is born with a heart defect and you took Wellbutrin® early in your pregnancy, you should talk with a Wellbutrin® attorney about seeking compensation. One of the most serious side effects of the depression drug is a heart defect, including left outflow tract heart defects in infants whose mothers used the medication during pregnancy.

A study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology suggests that infants whose mothers take Wellbutrin® during the first trimester of pregnancy may be at more than double a risk of heart defects. Other medications in its class of medications may be linked to heart birth defects as well.
