Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
Taking Paxil While Pregnant Can Lead to Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
It has been reported that many newborn babies have been born with congenital heart and lung defects after the mother took the drug Paxil during pregnancy. This has resulted in many of these babies dying at birth or having to go through a series of operations and expensive medical care for the rest of their lives. This is a hard way to start out in life and no child should be put through operations at such an early age. One of the defects that have been reported in babies whose mothers took Paxil while pregnant is Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. This is where the left side of the heart is underdeveloped. The left side includes areas of the heart such as the aorta, the left ventricle, the mitral valve and the aortic valve. This defect can be fatal if not treated within the first few days or months of life. The only way Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome can be treated is through multiple operations or a heart transplant. This means many years could be spent, as well as money, on operations just to keep the child alive. This puts a tremendous strain on the parents as well as the child, both emotionally and financially.

Paxil Lawsuits Are Being Filed By The Parents Of Children With Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
[Posted on Jan 11]
If you’re considering legal action against a large company, especially a top pharmaceutical company like GlaxoSmithKline, you need to be prepared for a tough fight. Pharmaceutical companies dedicate a lot time and money to employing powerful attorneys that specialize in discrediting lawsuits brought against them. If needed, they will use intimidation and other tactics to discourage former patients from moving forward with litigation. This is something GlaxoSmithKline has done in relation to Paxil lawsuits filed in the last several years after it was discovered that the medication can lead to birth defects if used by a woman while she is pregnant.
A number of birth defects have been connected to Paxil through research done after its initial release in 1992. Serious conditions in a newborn like hypoplastic left heart syndrome leave families devastated both emotionally and financially. A baby with hypoplastic left heart syndrome can experience other issues and health complications. They may require surgery and lengthy hospital stays that even well insured families find present financial challenges. As GlaxoSmithKline isn’t volunteering to take responsibility for the pain and suffering they’ve caused numerous families, these victims are left with no choice but to file a Paxil lawsuit.
It’s not an easy decision to make but for many, a prescription drug lawsuit is the only choice they have if they want to avoid being overwhelmed by the medical bills associated with their child’s hypoplastic left heart syndrome or another of the Paxil birth defects that have been connected to the medication. This underscores the importance of an experienced Paxil attorney in these cases. Only someone that has an extensive background in Paxil pharmaceutical lawsuits can properly represent these patients and that’s why so many are reaching out to the Law Offices of Chandler, Mathis, & Zivley, PC.
While there are many firms in the country that advertise the ability to represent a Paxil lawsuit, few have put together the same impressive record against GlaxoSmithKline as Chandler, Mathis, & Zivley. Former Paxil patients that believe the medication was the cause of their child’s health problems are able to receive a free case review and speak directly with a Paxil attorney who can determine if legal action is warranted. Once that determination has been made, you will have to decide if you’d like to proceed with a Paxil lawsuit. If you make that decision, you can do so with confidence knowing you’ve got a Paxil attorney you can trust.
