Studies show that if you used the antidepressant Paxil during your pregnancy, the risk of birth defects to your child were increased significantly.

Some of the most common types of birth defects associated with Paxil include heart defects, such as Atrial Septal Defects (ASD) and Ventral Septal Defects (VSD), which involve holes in the walls of the heart.  Another common condition associated with Paxil is Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN), a circulatory condition that may lead to respiratory failure after birth.  Many other birth defects have been linked to Paxil.

GlaxoSmithKline (Glaxo) manufactures Paxil.  In 2005, the Food and Drug Administration issued warnings about the birth defect risks associated with Paxil.  Long before that - as early as 1980 - Glaxo was aware of the link between its drug Paxil and birth defects.  Unfortunately, Glaxo decided not to disclose what it knew over a period of many years.

Nationwide help for those hurt by Paxil

Our law firm is based in Houston, Texas, and we are assisting Paxil users nationwide in asserting their legal claims.  Our firm has three lawyers who are Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

In various Paxil Lawsuits, evidence has been exposed that Glaxo was aware of the birth defect hazards associated with its drug, yet chose not to issue proper warnings which would have enabled consumers to make an informed choice about whether to use Paxil.

Glaxo has chosen not to recall Paxil.  Instead, it has paid more than $2 billion to settle hundreds of Paxil birth defect lawsuits.  The average payment in settlement of a Paxil lawsuit is $1.2 million.
