A commonly used anti-depressant is at the center of a lawsuit in the death of a one-day old child.
Sonja Jamsek took a mild dose of Lexapro during her pregnancy. Her doctor warned that her infant might experience withdrawal after being born.
However, the doctor didn’t advise that her infant may develop Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN). At the time, her doctor was unaware of this particular Lexapro birth defect.
Lexapro & PPHN
Sonja Jamsek alleges that Lexapro is to blame for pulmonary hypertension in her baby. She argues that PPHN limited her daughter’s oxygen supply and caused fatal internal bleeding.

It’s a drug company’s responsibility to inform physicians and patients about all known risks involved in taking medication. When they don’t, they must be held accountable for damages.
