In the previous days we were not aware of various reasons
having a connection with birth defects. Even today in our villages nobody had
made attempt to make them understand specific phenomenon about the birth
defects. They are unaware of any of the side effects which have been caused to
them due to intake of defective medicines. There have been numerous medical
campaigns to make the villagers understand about the application of various
medicine and the side effects of the same if used in an improper way. Some of
the mother in villages had also tasted Zoloft antidepressant drugs. As a result
some babies are born with abnormalities and birth defects. But the frustrating
part is, they are not aware of the same. Rather they are satisfied by assuming
the defect as their bad luck. Thus they are thinking about more babies. They are
also unaware of the precautionary measures which they have to go through in the
pregnancy period. Most of the new born babies are not exposed to proper
medication. In the beginning the parents could not detect the abnormalities that
have got rise after the birth. Gradually when the baby grows old and deals with
the children of his age, he himself comes across many abnormalities in
functioning. He may have a serious breathing problem which means that his lung
was affected due to the side effect of defective drugs.
A defect known as Omphalocele is normally detected when a child is inside the
mother’s womb. This phenomenon is observed when the mother goes through the
procedure of ultrasonography. This defect is very similar to that of hernia.
Here all the abnormal organs of baby along with its intestine protrude out of
navel. This is just because the mother had used the SSRI antidepressant drug
while she was carrying the baby in her womb. Another type of birth defect is
known as cranial birth defect. This is a popular and a peculiar side effect that
is having connection with the joints. As we know that, the brain of a baby
carries on growing till he grows up. Here the defect is about closing of the
joints between the bones of the skull which in turn effects the growth of a
baby’s brain. There is a specific treatment of the same. The only treatment for
this is a surgery which can balance the symmetrical condition of the skull. This
surgery can also bring the brain to grow and get it to its normal position.
Since the surgery is for a new born baby, it is very risky to go for the
operation. Rather it is advisable for all the mothers to avoid these Zoloft
drugs.
Also the side effect of these SSRI drug involves heart defects in a baby. The
heart defect can also lead to a threat of its life. This heart problem might be
confused by the hereditary effect. But the cause of the same is the application
and consumption of Zoloft antidepressant drug in the earlier stage of the
pregnant lady. Baby suffering from various birth defects should be taken to
Zoloft law claim center to file a lawsuit.
