Wellbutrin (bupropion--and also marketed as Zyban, Voxra, Budeprion, or Aplenzin) is a popular anti-depressant drug throughout the US. In a study conducted from 1997-2004, it was discovered that women who took Wellbutrin while pregnant had a more than double risk of having a child with a serious heart defect, among other problems. Within the product labeling for Wellbutrin, there is no warning of increased risks of birth defects. If you know an infant suffering from birth defects after the mother used Wellbutrin, the lawyers at Rheingold, Valet, Rheingold, McCartney & Giuffra LLP are here to help you explore your legal options .
