Persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) is a serious and potentially fatal health condition that threatens the health of thousands of children every year. Infants suffering from PPHN suffer from a series of complications, including stroke and heart failure.
What causes neonatal PPHN? Contributing factors vary, but one of the most important is a class of antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Although most don’t realize it, when expecting mothers ingest SSRIs like Zoloft, Lexapro, or Paxil, they may expose their developing fetus to active ingredients that can cause harm. To make matters worse, some SSRI manufacturers may have failed to appropriately warn patients, consumers, and medical professionals about the full risks of this dangerous medication.
