Missouri Lawyers Are Filing Lexapro Heart Defect Claims

Our Lexapro heart defect lawyers are vigorously investigating claims throughout the country that Lexapro causes serious heart defects in newborn children. The manufacturer of Lexapro is a Missouri based company, such that these claims are best filed in Missouri State Court, even if the victim lives outside of Missouri. Many firms automatically file these claims in federal court, if they are not a Missouri based law firm. We feel that federal court is not in the best interest for most mothers whose newborn child has a complex heart defect claim.

Our Missouri drug defect law firm is particularly vested in Lexapro litigation. Why? Because we take the claim of a young child particularly serious, as these newborn children are victims of a potentially permanent heart defect. Our birth defect lawyers supports many children's charities, including St. Judes and the Fondation for Children with Cancer. We do this because we are in business to protect people, especially children.

If you were a pregnant and took Lexapro, there is a possibility that any congenital heart defects of your child can be related to this particular drug. Lexapro is a Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitor (SSRI), and like many other SSRIs, is used to treat pyschological disorders. If you are pregnant, it is absolutely critical that you consult with your maternity doctor and disclose all current medications that you are taking. Also, exercise care and research the side effects associated with ANY prescription medication taken during pregnancy.
