subject: Paxil Has Been The Cause Of Spina Bifida In Newborns And Families Are Now Taking Legal Action [print this page] Many Paxil users found the drug to be effective in treating their depression symptoms but recently many have learned that there can be severe consequences to taking the medication. Studies have revealed that women who took Paxil during a pregnancy increased the chances they would give birth to a child suffering from birth defects like spina bifida. These risks were not initially communicated to patients and as a result, women who had a baby with Paxil birth defects are upset they weren't adequately warned of the risks or presented with alternative ways of treating their depression.
There are a number of medical conditions that research has indicated may fall under the category of Paxil birth defects. While many of these conditions are related to the heart, there are a significant number of children that were born with spina bifida and other neural tube defects. Typically any of these birth defects caused by Paxil require extensive medical care for the newborn. With the costs of healthcare constantly on the rise, these are additional expenses the family had no way of preparing for and thus must deal with an unexpected financial burden on top of trying to get their child the best care possible.
Numerous families have sought to pursue litigation but in order to do so, it's essential that they first consult with legal representation that has a background in these cases. As recent history has shown, an experienced Paxil attorney that has a background related specifically to the drug is critical when trying to win these pharmaceutical lawsuits.
