If you're a woman that previously used Zoloft as a treatment for your depression, then you've probably already learned that the medication may have caused health problems for your child if that past use was during your pregnancy. The potential for Zoloft birth defects wasn't always communicated to patients because it took Pfizer years to acknowledge the studies that revealed these risks. Those studies showed a strong correlation between use of Zoloft and a number of congenital heart diseases, including double outlet right ventricle, Transposition of the Great Arteries and Tetralogy of Fallot as well other health issues such as neural tube defects.

Had women using the medication been told that mixing pregnancy and Zoloft could result in these conditions, they most certainly would have stopped using the drug. Unfortunately they weren't given that option. They are now facing challenges related both to the health of their child in addition to the financial burden caused by having to pay for continued medical treatment. When someone is successful with a Zoloft lawsuit, Pfizer is forced to provide them with restitution to help them cover the extensive medical bills.

Children that are born with Zoloft birth defects need medical care that can include corrective surgery.In some cases, surgery alone will not be enough to fully fix the damage that's been caused by Zoloft and these newborns will need ongoing treatment. It won't take long for even the most financially stable families to find themselves struggling to cover their medical bills and that's simply not something they should have to deal with.
