You may not realize it, but your Lexapro (escitalopram) prescription may be connected to your child’s spina bifida. Spina bifida, a serious birth defect in which the backbone and spinal canal do not close before birth, occurs in a surprisingly large number of infants. Some estimates suggest that spina bifida is present in 1 out of 800 births.
