Merck Lawsuits Show the Road for Paxil
[Posted on March 26]
Merck, a pharmaceutical giant has put drugs on the market whose safety has been repeatedly questioned. One of these drugs was an arthritis drug called Vioxx which ended up harming a great deal of people. After being linked to thousands of deaths, the Merck lawsuits piled up and Merck was forced to take Vioxx off the market.
Merck isn’t the only company that manufactured drugs which were controversial. A similar situation is brewing for another pharmaceutical giant, GlaxoSmithKline. This prescription drug company has been receiving negative press lately, but for good reason. It is now an undeniable fact that this company’s anti-depressant drug, Paxil can lead to some severe side effects, including homicidal tendencies, suicidal tendencies, and even horrible birth defects which can include heart defects, cranial defects, spinal cord defects, and club foot. Needless to say, some people who have taken this drug in the past are now suffering, and as a result, one could predict with a high degree of accuracy that the future for GlaxoSmithKline will be similar to that of Merck, but instead of Merck lawsuits in the headlines, it will be the name of the maker of Paxil.
Have you or your family been suffering as a result of taking the prescription drug Paxil? If you believe that Paxil may have had a hand in causing your current suffering, then you should follow in the footsteps of those that filed Merck lawsuits. One of the great things about living in the United States is the fact that we have a functioning law system which allows those who have been hurt as a result of someone else’s negligence to gain justice and compensation. If there is evidence that your family has suffered as a result of the negligence of the maker of Paxil, then you should come forward and contact a qualified attorney immediately.
It is not for sure when large pharmaceutical companies will learn their lesson that endangering the public for a profit is immoral, unethical, and of course, illegal. However, you can certainly help them to learn their lesson by coming forward and telling your story if you’ve been harmed by a prescription drug.
