Paxil

Paxil is an antidepressant drug that was developed and has been sold by the drug company GlaxoSmithKline since 1992.  It is intended for the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, general anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder.

Paxil has become one of the most popular antidepressant drugs of all time, with somewhere around 100 million people taking it since it was released. It has been regarded as effective treatment for many, however, recent studies have linked the drug to serious birth defects.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drugs like Paxil are designed to increase mood levels by altering the level of chemical neurotransmitters in the brain and blocking the re-absorption of serotonin.

Research has now shown that taking these SSRI drugs like Paxil during pregnancy can increase the risk of birth defects like brain damage, spine defects, lung defects, heart defects, club foot and abdominal defects.

Fortunately, legal help is available for those children and families who have suffered from birth defects related to this drug.

If you believe your child’s condition may have been caused by taking Paxil during pregnancy, it is important to speak with a qualified Paxil Attorney about your legal options. You may be entitled to a substantial recovery, however, time is limited.

The FDA and several research facilities have linked Paxil and other SSRI drugs to these birth defects.  Due to the failure of drug makers like GlaxoSmithKline to warn mothers of the dangers of taking these drugs during pregnancy, however, experts fear that millions of children may have suffered birth defects.

Most parents who are struggling to help a child with a severe birth defect don’t even suspect that a drug they were prescribed months or years earlier may be the cause of their condition, or that legal help is available.
