Zoloft Settlement

Presently, a growing number of women who have taken the drug Zoloft are giving birth to children with a number of health complications. As this number continues to rise, it is expected that the number of Zoloft settlements will rise as well.

Am I Eligible for a Zoloft Settlement?

If you have taken Zoloft during pregnancy and your newborn has health complications, you may be an individual who has been adversely affected by Pfizer’s inadequate warnings on its product – making you eligible to seek a Zoloft settlement. If a mother using Zoloft while pregnant gives birth to a child that has any health complications such as, pulomonary hypertension, heart defects, or cleft lip and palate it may be a sign that Zoloft led to these problems. If a newborn is diagnosed with any related problems, or you believe that Pfizer’s Zoloft has caused complications with your child, you are strongly encouraged to consult a Zoloft lawyer to discuss your rights and eligibility for a Zoloft settlement.

What Claims are Associated with a Zoloft Settlement?

Scientists have found that Zoloft causes an extensive list of birth defects, particularly when taken during the third trimester, including cleft lip and palate, heart defects, and pulmonary hypertension. Newborns may also experience a number of other complications including tremors, feeding problems, and seizures.

Zoloft cleft lip and palate is categorized as a craniofacial defect, and affects the upper lip and the roof of the mouth. The defect may be a small opening in the upper lip, or it may be a large opening from the roof of the mouth extending to the nasal cavity.

Further studies have concluded that pregnant women using Zoloft are at greater risk for having newborns with heart complications. Zoloft has been linked with a number of heart defects in newborns including coarctation of the aorta, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, and heart valve abnormity, among others.

Zoloft has also been linked with pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) in newborn babies. PPHN is a condition in which high pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs leads to an insufficient amount of oxygen in the bloodstream.

All of these health complications in newborns that have been affected by the use of Zoloft are all factors in a Zoloft lawsuit.
