Pristiq Lawsuit Information

Pristiq is in a class of medications called serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (or SNRIs). The generic form of the drug is known as desvenlafaxine. Pristiq is intended to treat depression by increasing the amounts of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain to help maintain mental balance.

A growing number of Pristiq lawsuits are under review, however, in light of alleged side effects in newborn children whose mothers used the drug during pregnancy.

If your child was born with congenital anomalies such as cardiac or neural tube defects, you may have grounds for a Pristiq lawsuit against the manufacturer.

Pristiq birth defect lawsuits allege that the manufacturer of the drug was aware of serious risks to infants but failed to properly warn women of childbearing potential.

The current litigation over birth defects is not structured as a Pristiq class action lawsuit. Instead each plaintiff files a separate lawsuit and claims are resolved according to the unique facts of each case. The first step in any case is to get an informed legal evaluation of your potential claim.
