Dr. Adam Urato, OB-GYN, is a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for 10 years, often featured in Boston Magazine, with a specialty is Maternal & Fetal Medicine. He is gravely concerned by the lack of informed consent given to pregnant women concerning their medications.

Namely, SSRI antidepressants, but also Zofran.

“The main one I’m focusing on currently is the use of antidepressants during pregnancy, because we’re seeing so much of that in the general population, but in particular, in pregnancy as well,” Urato tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey on “Relatable.”

“I tell my patients that medications are chemicals. They’re not naturally occurring substances. They’re not like oranges growing on an orange tree. They’re synthesized in a chemical manufacturing facility,” he explains, noting that in any manufacturing plant, you’ll see workers wearing masks and goggles for a reason.

The 2 sections on 1. Medication safety in pregnancy from 15:20 (including Zofran for nausea discussed at 17:58) and 2. SSRI effects on fetal development from 34:45 are critical for moms to understand.

What About Zofran?

“Virtually any medications that the mom takes are going to cross over from the mom into the baby.”

“A drug like Zofran, originally developed to combat nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy, involves blocking serotonin receptors in the brain and gut has a major impact on the serotonin receptors. Serotonin is a crucial cell-signaling molecule. Yet, serotonin is crucial for all of fetal development.”

“So if you’ve got this delicate system, intricate system, that relies on serotonin signalling and other neurotransmitters,” he continues, “and then you disrupt it with chemicals like Zofran or like the SSRI antidepressants or other antidepressants, it’s going to have a negative impact, often unseen in the moment.”

Even Worse For the SSRIs…

“There’s evidence, for example, that patients on antidepressants, on the SSRI antidepressants, have increased rates of bleeding,” states Dr. Urato, explaining that it’s because SSRIs have a huge impact on platelet function, and it can complicate bleeding during birth and even later.

The drugs also have a great impact on the gut and bone strength, which leaves many SSRI patients with a higher rate of fractures in their bones and higher rates of osteoporosis.

But it gets worse.

“We’re seeing increased rates of miscarriage, so the woman loses her pregnancy.

We’re seeing increased rates of birth defects. It’s been clearly shown with some of the drugs, things like heart defects,” Urato explains.

“We’re seeing increased rates in preterm birth, we see increased rates in PPROM, breaking your water early, having the rupture of the membranes. We see increased rates of low birthweight babies, small for size; they didn’t grow well likely because of the impact of the drugs on the placenta late in pregnancy.”

“We see an increase in the disease called pre-eclampsia, which causes high blood pressure in women, and proteinuria, protein in the urine, we see higher rates of that in the women on the SSRIs,” he continues.

“We see higher rates of postpartum hemorrhage, there’s higher rates of women bleeding who are on SSRIs.”

“Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality,” he adds.

According to The Midwestern Doctor:

• SSRI antidepressants are among the most harmful medications on the market, impacting society due to their widespread (and frequently unjustifiable) use.

• Common side effects of SSRIs (and SNRIs) include sexual dysfunction (which is often permanent), emotional numbness, severe agitation, violent psychosis, cognitive decline, and birth defects.

• The most concerning SSRI side-effect is their tendency to cause grisly suicides and homicidal violence (which includes mass shootings).

• Psychiatry’s denial of SSRI-related issues often leads to misinterpretation of side effects as signs of pre-existing mental illness, resulting in more medication and potentially catastrophic consequences.

• SSRIs, like other stimulant drugs (e.g., cocaine), can create aggressive behaviors and are highly addictive so many SSRI enter severe withdrawals once they stop them. Unfortunately, few resources exist for these situations.

In 2004, the FDA first initiated a Black Box Warning on SSRIs — its strongest available measure short of withdrawing a drug from the market. The warning is still placed on package inserts for all antidepressants in common use. It mentions the above risks in children, teens and younger adults.

The very problems many take SSRIs for, is actually what they are causing –and in even more serious and long-term forms. So WHY risk that?
