Lexapro is an SSRI (Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitor) which is used to treat depression.  This powerful medication is also used to treat certain forms of adult anxiety.  Unfortunately, studies have linked Lexapro to several serious birth defects.  If you are pregnant, it may be important for you to discuss complications between Lexapro and heart defects.  If you have a child that is diagnosed with heart defects, contact a Lexapro birth defect lawyer immediately by calling (866) 840-3636. 

The first step to protecting your legal rights is to investigate whether a heart defect was caused by a prescription medication.  Drug manufacturers have a duty to keep dangerous drugs out of circulation.  This includes comprehensive testing for all potential customers, including pregnant women.  The studies that have linked Lexapro to heart defects are compelling.  When you speak with a Lexapro heart defect attorney, they will collect all of your medical records and have them reviewed by a heart specialist.  Then a determination will be made whether you have a viable product liability claim.  This entire review process is free to clients.  Our Lexapro attorneys only charge attorneys fees if we win the case for our client.  Their is no financial risk for our clients to have us collect and review medical records and diagnostic reports.  This is important.  After all, our clients are already under a high level of stress when they contact us. 

Heart defects are serious.  Certain heart defects can be treated if they are diagnosed at an early age.  In fact, it can still be possible for victims of congenital heart defects to mature and live healthy, normal lives.  However, future medical expenses can be staggering and it is critical to obtain compensation to assist with these costs.  Contact a Lexapro birth defect lawyer today by calling our experienced nationwide drug defect law firm.
