Pregnancy and Zoloft®

Zoloft® is the brand name of the antidepressant, anti-anxiety drug Sertaline Hydrochloride manufactured by global pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. Zoloft®, like others drugs in the class SSRI, has been linked to serious birth defects occurring after taking Zoloft® while pregnant.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) places Zoloft® in its Pregnancy Category C class of drugs. Placement in this class means that because of moral issues the drug cannot be directly tested on pregnant women, but studies using animals notably show the occurrence of birth defects and other side effects.

Zoloft® Lawsuits and Birth Defects

Lawsuits against Zoloft® are just getting started as patients and lawyers watch the results of pregnancy lawsuits against other SSRI anti-depressants, such as Paxil®. Parents finding themselves in the unfortunate circumstance of having seriously ill children born after taking Zoloft® during pregnancy have been consulting Zoloft® birth defect lawyers, as well as their doctors, to learn if they were adequately warned about the side effects of taking Zoloft® during pregnancy and if they have any recourse by participating on behalf of their children in a lawsuit against Zoloft® and Pfizer.

Due to the serious nature and large number of children being born with birth defects that range from congenital heart defects to other physical defects that require multiple surgeries to repair, patients are actively talking online and to attorneys about bringing a class action lawsuit seeking repayment for current and future medical expenses and pain and suffering. More than compensation, though, these children lawsuits seek to prevent birth defects happening to others.

Who Qualifies to File a Zoloft® Birth Defect Lawsuit?

You might qualify to participate in a lawsuit if you were taking Zoloft® while pregnant and your baby was born with:

• Heart defects
• Serious lung defects
• Developmental delays (often a symptom of a birth defect)
• Abdominal wall defects (intestines and liver remain outside of the abdomen in a sac)
• Club feet
• Webbed fingers
• Skull defects
