http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/339/sep23_1/b3569

Quote:
What is already known on this topic

Use of an SSRI during pregnancy is common and increasing
The teratogenic effects of specific SSRIs are unconfirmed

What this study adds

Sertraline and citalopram were associated with an increased prevalence of septal heart defects
Use of more than one type of SSRI during the first trimester was associated with a fourfold increase in prevalence of septal heart defects

Default My son has a heart murmur

I took Prozac during my entire pregnancy. My son was born with a heart murmur. The pediatric cardiologists at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City followed his heart murmur for four years. They concluded that it was an "innocent" murmur. It was definitely detectable...every doctor who ever listened to his heart heard it but it did not cause a functional deficit that they could detect. I do believe that it was caused by the Prozac. Our family has no heart defects in the history. Neither does his father.
