    Wellbutrin May Cause Left Hypoplastic Heart Syndrome: Attorney Injury Help

    FREE AND NO OBLIGATION CONSULTATION AVAILABLE: CALL 1-800-632-1404 TODAY.

    Our team of Wellbutrin lawyers are offering free nationwide case evaluations to families whose children were diagnosed with medical conditions at birth or shortly therafter when the mother ingested Wellbutrin or Bupropion during pregnancy including Left Hypoplastic Heart Syndrome.

    Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (also known as HLHS), is a rare congenital heart defect in which the left side of the heart is severely underdeveloped.  In babies with HLHS, the aorta and left ventricle are very small, and the aortic and mitral valves are either too small to allow sufficient blood flow or are atretic (closed) altogether. As blood returns from the lungs to the left atrium, it must pass through an atrial septal defect to the right side of the heart.  In cases of HLHS, the right side of the heart often must pump blood to the body through a patent ductus arteriosus. As the ductus arteriosus usually closes within eleven days after birth, blood flow is severely restricted and eventually cut off, leading to dangerously low circulation and eventually to shock.

    Without life-prolonging interventions, HLHS is fatal, but with intervention, an infant may survive. A pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon may perform a series of operations or a full heart transplant. In the meantime, the ductus may be kept open to allow blood-flow using medication containing prostaglandin. Because these operations are complex and need to be individualized for each patient, a cardiologist must assess all medical and surgical options on a case-by-case basis.

    Currently, infants who undergo either the staged reconstructive surgery or who undergo cardiac transplantation have a 5-year survival of approximately 60%. Further, studies show that about 50% of those children who survive surgery have developmental delay or need special education. About 25% of surgical survivors have severe disabilities.

        Manufacturer of Wellbutrin Settles Cases for Another Prescription Drug

        $1 Billion To Be Paid for Families – For help call 1-800-632-1404

        The Wall Street Journal (7/20, Stovall) reported that on July 20, GlaxoSmithKline announced in a company email that it settled certain suits claiming that its antidepressant Paxil (paroxetine) caused birth defects in the babies of certain users who took the medication while pregnant. GlaxoSmithKline is also the manufacturer of Wellbutrin, of which we are accepting FREE CASE EVALUATIONS across the country.

        “GlaxoSmithKline Plc has agreed to pay more than $1 billion to resolve more than 800 cases…according to people familiar with the settlements,” Bloomberg News (7/21, Feeley, Kelley) reports. “The accords, which provide an average payout of more than $1.2 million to families of affected children, leave more than 100 birth-defect cases pending, the people said.” According to Carl Tobias, who teaches courses on mass-tort law at the University of Richmond Law School, the “$1.25 million average recovery in the Paxil birth- defect cases reflects the seriousness of the injuries and the fact that many of cases involved children with heart defects.”

        Wellbutrin (bupropion HCI), which is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, was first approved by FDA as an antidepressant in December 1985. The drug was shortly thereafter taken off the market after there were a large number of seizures associated with the medication. The latest study, after looking at 12,700 children born in the U.S. between 1997 and 2004, found that mothers who used Wellbutrin/bupropion during their first trimester were more than twice as likely to give birth to an infant with a congenital heart problem known as a left outflow tract defect.

        The heart birth defect can restrict the flow of blood to the rest of the body from the heart’s left chambers, and often must be surgically corrected to allow the child’s main artery to function properly. Medical bills and pain and suffering are likely. We are standing by ready to help you.

        Bupropion is marketed as Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin XL, and Wellbutrin XR.

        If you or a loved one took Wellbutrin during early pregnancy and had a child born with a birth defect, this side effect may be associated with Wellbutrin.

          Attorney Ed Wallis is currently reviewing potential Wellbutrin / Buproprion lawsuits involving women who took Wellbutrin during early pregnancy and suffered adverse side effects. Wellbutrin (Buproprion), an antidepressant prescription drug generically called Bupropion hydrochloride, has been linked in a recent study to serious side effects in women who take this drug during early pregnancy.

                A study in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology published results showing that mothers of infants with left outflow heart defects were more likely to have reported taking buproprion than mothers of control infants, and that the study identified a positive association between early pregnancy bupropion use and left outflow tract heart defects.
