Lexapro (escitalopram) isn’t just a powerful drug. According to several medical studies, it may also be a dangerous one for the children of expecting mothers.
Recent medical research suggests that Lexapro, a commonly prescribed antidepressant that belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), may elevate the risk of prenatal birth defects. According to one study, mothers who took Lexapro during pregnancy elevated the probability that their child was born with a birth defect such as persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) by a factor of six.
