Wellbutrin Lawyer

Motley Rice attorneys are currently reviewing potential Wellbutrin lawsuits involving women who took Wellbutrin during early pregnancy and suffered adverse side effects. Wellbutrin, an antidepressant prescription drug generically called Bupropion hydrochloride, has been linked in a recent study to serious side effects in women who take this drug during early pregnancy. This study, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, suggests that women who take Wellbutrin during early pregnancy may run a greater risk for having a child born with a heart birth defect.

Manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, Bupropion hydrochloride is used to treat Major Depressive Disorder and Seasonal Affective Disorder. First approved by the FDA in 1985, Bupropion hydrochloride was available for several years only under the brand name Wellbutrin. In 1996, the FDA aproved a sustained-release tablet of this drug called Wellbutrin SR and, in 2003, approved an extended-release tablet known as Wellbutrin XL.
