Paxil Could be Responsible for Your Child's Gastroschisis
[Posted on Dec 19]
Having a child born with gastroschisis can be a terrible event. This particular congenital defect, also called paraomphalocele, abdominoschisis, and abdominal hernia, is characterized by the child's intestines and sometimes other internal organs developing outside of the fetal abdomen. Although this unfortunate defect can be inherited, it can also be said that the prescription drug Paxil may be to blame for some who develop gastroschisis.
Paroxetine, also known as Paxil has been used to help those who suffer from depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and other negative psychological conditions. Many patients have found the drug to be effective. Others however are now waking up to the dangers of the drug as it had been concluded several years ago that this prescription drug may increase the risk for birth defects which can include gastroschisis if taken by the mother during pregnancy. Since the realization that the prescription drug Paxil may increase the risk for birth defects came about years after the drug had been released on the market, it's very possible that a sizeable number of children's birth defects may be blamed on the drug. Those families that are now suffering and believe that this medication is to blame should not hesitate to contact an experienced Paxil attorney as an attorney can pursue Paxil lawsuits on the victims behalf.
If your son or daughter has suffered from gastroschisis and you believe that the birth defect was caused by the prescription drug Paxil, then there is no question that you should get in touch with an experienced attorney sooner rather than later. It may be possible to gain compensation for your family's suffering via legal action, and although thinking about legal action can bring about a great deal of stress, it should be realized that compensation and justice simply cannot be obtained without litigation and the help of a qualified attorney.
