Recent Birth Defect Study May Signal Future Zoloft Lawsuit

According to an MSNBC article, a growing concern over drugs like Zoloft taken during pregnancy has many women wondering if the anxiety relief of these drugs is worth the risks of birth defects to the developing infant, which include “persistent pulmonary hypertension, a condition in which there are problems with the baby's blood circulation, and not enough oxygen reaches the bloodstream, resulting in respiratory difficulties.” The Mayo Clinic also explains this type of medication can lead to rare but serious side effects, including “septal heart defects,” “a birth defect that affects the brain and skull (anencephaly), a birth defect that affect sutures on the head (craniosynostosis) and a birth defect that affects the abdominal organs (omphalocele).”

Many ADHD drugs in short supply

Parents of children on various ADHD medications know the drill when dropping off a prescription for their child’s ADHD medication — ask the pharmacist if they have the drug in stock before leaving and coming back for the prescription. Often times parents are told that their prescription can’t be filled because they’re out of the ADHD drug they’re trying to fill. If you have a few pills on hand, it may not be a big deal, but if your supply is running out, many children revert back to their uncontrolled behaviors very quickly and exponentially lose their ability to focus. Sometimes these involuntary “drug vacations” can cause anxiety within the family, create disciplinary issues at school and cause children to under perform in sports, school and social situations.
