Our team of Wellbutrin attorneys are currently reviewing potential Wellbutrin lawsuits involving women who took Wellbutrin during early pregnancy and whose children 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.
If you or a loved one used the drug Bupropion (also known by the names Wellbutrin, Zyban, Voxra, Budeprion and Aplenzin) while pregnant, you should know that researchers have found a connection between use of these drugs and serious heart defects in their babies. The study found that babies born to women who used the drug in their first trimester of pregnancy were at an increased risk of developing a serious heart defect known as Left Ventricle Outflow Tract Obstruction (LVOTO) including coarctation of the aorta and hyposplastic left heart.
The drug is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and has been used for treatment of depression and to assist in quitting smoking. Women who have used the drug while pregnant and whose babies developed heart defects should seek the advice of an attorney.
Mothers of babies with left ventricle outflow tract obstruction heart defects should determine if they took Wellbutrin, Zyban, Bupropion, Voxra, Budeprion or Aplenzin while pregnant. If so, they should immediately seek the advice of a qualified injury lawyer to discuss options for their child.
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.
