Celexa Birth Defect Claim

Celexa Birth Defect Lawyer

Celexa is a strong prescription medication used to treat depression in adults.  Also known as Citalopram, it is in a classification of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).  Celexa comes in two clinical forms: liquid and tablet.  Our Celexa injury lawyers are now investigating and filing lawsuits on behalf of mothers and newborn children due to birth defects that are being linked to Celexa.  A Celexa birth defect lawyer can collect your medical records, inclusive of prenatal and postnatal reports, and determine whether you have a claim for damages and right to compensation.

Celexa can be dangerous when taken by pregnant women.  It can result in very serious and permanent birth defects, including:  heart defects, cranial defects, abdominal defects, and/or persistent pulmonary hypertension.  The Food and Drug Administration first issued warnings of taking anti-depressants by pregnant women in 2004.  In 2006, the FDA updated its warning to include SSRI's such as Celexa, Zoloft, Fosamax, and Lexapro.  If you were pregnant and prescribed any of these anti-depressants, contact a Celexa birth defect lawyer immediately. 

Celexa Lawsuit Settlements

The first step to protecting your rights as a consumer is by contacting a Celexa birth defect settlement lawyer to determine whether or not you have a claim against the manufacturer.  Birth defects can cause a myriad of health issues that last a lifetime and require significant financial resources to treat.  Holding a manufacturer accountable for the unreasonably dangerous side effects caused by a SSRI such as a Celexa is your constitutional right pursuant to the U.S. Bill of Rights. 

Our Celexa personal injury attorneys offer free consultations to the mothers of newborn infants suffering from birth defects.  With central office locations in Missouri, Illinois, and Arkansas, our attorneys handle Celexa claims throughout the entire country.  We never charge attorneys fees unless we determine that you have a case and obtain compensation on your behalf.  There are no costs or fees associated with reviewing your case unless we determine you actually have a viable birth defect claim.  Failing to the steps necessary to protect your legal rights can result in "waiver" of any future right to compensation for your Celexa claim.
