Depression and anxiety have made a lot of Americans suffer. Then, Zoloft was approved around 1999 which happens to be a great medication for these conditions. Millions of prescriptions were then made for this medicine. Perhaps, it might be safe to say that these huge Zoloft prescriptions is also been used in an off label manner. Actually,
FDA has approved uses for Zoloft. But of course, doctors have the choice to use it to treat other conditions far from FDA approval. Of course, sooner or later, complications can result from this fact. Speaking of problems, Zoloft is in danger of facing a lot of lawsuits soon. These lawsuits have a lot to do with the side effects Zoloft has been giving a lot of people.
Studies have been done on Zoloft and results showed a lot of problems. In fact, Zoloft side effects have been used a warning for people who want to use Zoloft for their conditions. Clubbed foot, cleft lip/palate; delayed development; persistent pulmonary hypertension; gastrochisis; heart defects; skull defects; and brain/spinal cord defects have been the known side effects of Zoloft. Premature birth and miscarriage have also been known to result from Zoloft use. These following side effects are considered to be a major consequence of Zoloft use. However, there are still other side effects Zoloft can offer such as high fever, sweating, uneven or fast heartbeat, tremors, stiff muscles, overactive reflexes, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, an unsteady feeling, loss of coordination, headache, confusion, fainting, hallucinations, shallow breathing, trouble with memory or concentrating, seizures or weakness.
Significant Zoloft lawsuits have not yet happened. But this kind of lawsuits is foreseeable considering the dangers the drug contains.
