The side effects history of defective drug Paxil extends beyond serious birth defects of the heart, lungs and other vital organs found in the newborns of some women who took Paxil as an antidepressant drug during pregnancy. Using Paxil also has been linked to violent behavior and suicidal impulses.
Such defective drug side effects became widely known after the Food and Drug Administration approved Paxil to go on the market in 1992. The first damaging Paxil effects to become widely publicized were suicidal impulses by those who took the antidepressant drug, particularly if they were young persons such as teenagers or younger children.
More recently, harmful Paxil effects have included birth defects in the babies of women who took Paxil while pregnant. Women who do so have a significantly higher chance of having a baby with birth defects than those who do not take Paxil.
Such Paxil birth defects can include, but are not limited to, injuries of the heart, lungs, spinal cord, brain and other vital organs. These Paxil injuries often require costly surgery, and perhaps repeated surgeries.
The costs of such surgeries and other medical treatments of Paxil side effects injuries should not be borne by the families who were unwittingly harmed by the defective drug. Rather, the giant pharmaceutical company which made and marketed the drug, GlaxoSmithKline, or GSK, should be held accountable for its negligence in harming innocent Americans.
Indeed, some such victims already have been awarded millions of dollars in Paxil lawsuits. If an infant in your family has suffered birth defects as a result of his or her mother taking Paxil during pregnancy, alert a defective drug lawyer or attorney to seek fair and fitting financial compensation for your losses via a Paxil birth defects lawsuit.
