Celexa Birth Defects Heightened with IVF
By John Curran
It’s a stunning combination. Couples who are looking to conceive and having difficulty already risk SSRI antidepressant birth defects side effects. A new study indicates that if they need to go an alternative route, it could be even worse.
In vitro fertilization helps couples who cannot begin a pregnancy on their own. However, researchers at UCLA looked at over 50,000 data points to find out that IVF actually heightens the risk of birth defects by 25 percent even if one ignores Celexa birth defect side effects. That increases the likelihood of dangerous disorders to about one in every 10 IVF pregnancies which is significant. It’s even more problematic when one considers the mental health of those looking to conceive.
Depression is a common factor in pregnancy, and its just as likely for people looking to start a family but who are unable to do so without assistance. Coping with these emotions could lead to a psychiatrist’s visit and an increased likelihood for SSRI antidepressant birth defects. Those on their own are extensive enough. This class of psychoactive drugs can lead to children with bone deformities, holes in the heart and many other problems.
The FDA has noted that Celexa birth defects are most often caused by a reduction in the amount of oxygen, but it is clear that other conditions are caused by different chemical mechanisms. That there are higher chances of childhood disorders and disability with IVF are just an added stressor for parents who may not realize that antidepressant birth defect side effects are likely. They still are not mentioned on the product label of several of these medications, which is why many devastated parents have considered legal action against the drug manufacturers.
