Thousands of women take Lexapro (excitalopram), including women who are sexually active and may become pregnant. In doing so, these women are unknowingly running the risk of exposing their child to the dangerous effects of this selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).
Unfortunately, Lexapro is particularly dangerous for fetuses during the first trimester of a woman’s pregnancy. Of course, this period coincides with the time that many women don’t realize that their pregnant. The tragic fact is that many women expose their child to SSRI risks without even knowing they have a child growing inside them.
Lexapro (escitalopram) is a dangerous drug about which the FDA has issued repeated warnings. Despite these warnings, many patients still have questions about Lexapro and the possible effect it may have had on their child. Does this sound like you?
