Luvox

Luvox is the brand name for the SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) drug fluvoxamine, a class of antidepressants similar to Prozac and Paxil. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1994 and has been used by approximately 30 million people.

Most people do not doubt the ability of Luvox and other SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) drugs to help with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, depression and anxiety. However, there is also concern about severe Luvox Side Effects like serious birth defects that have been linked to the drug.

Experts have now linked the chemicals in Luvox and similar SSRI depression medications with severe birth defects including heart defects, lung defects, persistent pulmonary hypertension in newborns (PPHN) and certain facial and skeletal malformations like cleft palate.

Although prior studies linked SSRI drugs like Luvox to suicidal thoughts and self-mutilation, these most recent Luvox side effects could have as much or more of an effect on women taking the drug and their families.

If you took Luvox before or during pregnancy and have given birth to a child with heart, lung, abdominal or skeletal birth defects, contact us immediately to speak with a Luvox Side Effects Lawyer about your legal options.  You may be entitled to substantial compensation for your child’s condition.

Experts fear that many of the 30 million adults and teenage patients who have taken Luvox since 1994 were women who may have taken the drug during pregnancy without knowing the risks and unknowingly putting their children at risk.

Parents dealing with the devastating effects of a child’s severe birth defect often do not even suspect that the medication they were prescribed years earlier may be the cause of their child’s condition, or that legal help is available.

Luvox side effects lawyers with the SSRI Litigation Group are available to help and are currently filing lawsuits against the makers of SSRI drugs on behalf of parents and families affected by the severe birth defects caused by these drugs.

Lawyers have secured compensation on behalf of those affected by Luvox side effects or SSRI birth defects for amounts in excess of $1 million. It is important that you speak with a qualified lawyer to determine what your case may be worth.

These same lawyers are available to answer your questions, explain your legal rights and discuss the compensation available from the drug companies responsible for your child’s condition.  Time to file a lawsuit, however, is limited.

When dealing with your child’s birth defect, your first priority is to visit their pediatrician to learn the extent of their condition, what treatment options are available, what lifestyle changes you will have to make, and what to expect in the future.

It is also very important to learn about your legal options and how the compensation from a defective drug claim can reduce the burden on your family for medical costs, pain and suffering and loss of earnings.

While nobody should file a lawsuit for monetary gain if another party was not at fault, your lawyer can explain how Salvoy Pharmaceuticals may have known that Luvox side effects put patients at risk of delivery of infants with birth defects.

It is also not fair that your family not be burdened with expenses like medical bills, loss of earnings and changes in your lifestyle caused by the effects of Luvox simply because of the negligence of a drug company.

Although Salvoy Pharmaceuticals has added warning labels to Luvox about its’ dangerous side effects, they earned billions of dollars selling the drug while many people did not know of the risks it carried.  The company is now facing thousands of lawsuits for the side effects from its drugs.

Before you select a lawyer or law firm for a drug injury case, make sure they are qualified to handle your type of case, have the resources to fight giant drug companies, and can commit the time necessary to get results.
