Effexor and Birth Defects | Effexor Heart Birth Defects |

Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman is investigating whether or not antidepressants such as Effexor (venlafaxine) or Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) cause heart birth defects since information has emerged that certain antidepressants may cause birth defects, including cardiac and pulmonary defects. Preliminary analyses from two recent unpublished epidemiological studies have shown that use of these antidepressants in the first trimester of pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of specific types of congenital malformations.

Our law firm has represented thousands of victims of drug-induced injury and death caused by harmful drugs for more than 20 years.

In our representation of victims of antidepressants in personal injury and wrongful death cases, we have seen the harm antidepressants can cause and the extent to which drug companies will go to protect their enormously profitable drugs. In representing our clients, we dig deep into drug company files to discover the truth about what the company knew about the drug’s risks, when the company knew of those risks and what efforts, if any, the company took to hide those risks. Only through legal action can anyone gain access to this information.
