Nearly 100 million people across the United States have taken the antidepressant drug Paxil over the past few decades for conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder and premenstrual disorders.
Unfortunately, Paxil and other Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant drugs have now been linked to severe birth defects all over America when taken during pregnancy.
Some of these birth defects include club foot, heart defects, lung defects, abdominal defects, cranial deformities and neural tube defects of the spine and brain. These can range from minor conditions to life threatening disorders.
The makers of these antidepressant drugs gave little warning to expectant mothers about the potential dangers to their children. Therefore, experts fear that children in all parts of the country could have suffered birth defects.
Many parents may not suspect that their child’s condition could have been caused by an antidepressant drug they took months or years earlier, or that legal help is available in their area.
Lawyers are currently filing lawsuits all over the country on behalf of those affected by Paxil and have recovered millions for those with birth defects. If you believe this drug may be related to your child’s condition, it is important to learn your legal options as soon as possible.
Like any lawsuit, there is only a limited time before your legal rights to file a Paxil claim expire. A qualified Paxil lawyer can let you know how long you have to take action and how much your case may be worth.
