A study published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, on March 22, 2012, found that SSRI use increased the risk of preeclampsia by 60%. Preeclampsia is dangerous for both the mother and the unborn child and in severe cases it can be fatal. If you have been harmed by Zoloft, please talk to a Zoloft injury attorney today.
Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is pregnancy-induced high blood pressure. In severe cases, the baby must be delivered early to protect the mother or the baby from the harm caused by preeclampsia. Premature delivery poses its own risks to the baby.
Women with preeclampsia can experience dangerous complications including:
- Stroke
- Ruptured liver
- Bleeding
- Placental abruption
- Death
Harm to the baby can include:
- Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
- Acidosis
- Stillbirth
- Neonatal death
- Cerebral palsy
- Learning disorders
- Blindness
- Deafness
- Epilepsy
