Attorney Ed Wallis is currently reviewing potential Wellbutrin lawsuits involving women who took Wellbutrin during early pregnancy and suffered adverse side effects. Wellbutrin, an antidepressant prescription drug generically called Bupropion hydrochloride, has been linked in a recent study to serious side effects in women who take this drug during early pregnancy. This study, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, suggests that women who take Wellbutrin during early pregnancy may run a greater risk for having a child born with a heart birth defect. This includes left outflow heart defects.
Wellbutrin (bupropion HCI), which is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, was first approved by FDA as an antidepressant in December 1985. The drug was shortly thereafter taken off the market after there were a large number of seizures associated with the medication.
The latest study, after looking at 12,700 children born in the U.S. between 1997 and 2004, found that mothers who used Wellbutrin/bupropion during their first trimester were more than twice as likely to give birth to an infant with a congenital heart problem known as a left outflow tract defect.
The heart birth defect can restrict the flow of blood to the rest of the body from the heart’s left chambers, and often must be surgically corrected to allow the child’s main artery to function properly. Medical bills and pain and suffering are likely. We are standing by ready to help you.
Bupropion is marketed as Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin XL, and Wellbutrin XR.
If you or a loved one took Wellbutrin during early pregnancy and had a child born with a birth defect, this side effect may be associated with Wellbutrin.
