Pharmaceutical Lawsuits Against Paxil Are Growing

At Chandler, Mathis & Zivley Law Offices, we're no strangers to pharmaceutical lawsuits and neither are the makers of Paxil, GlaxoSmithKline. Since the late 1990s when the first pharmaceutical lawsuits were brought against GSK, until today, there are more than 600 Paxil related pharmaceutical lawsuits pending around the world.

And while the causes for these pharmaceutical lawsuits are varied, most of these cases have been brought forth as a result of medical injuries and birth abnormalities including:

Paxil birth defects - Many women, spouses, and their loved ones have all filed pharmaceutical lawsuits against the makers of Paxil, as a result of various birth defects their children have suffered that have been linked to Paxil. In a landmark case on October 14, 2009, a Philadelphia jury awarded the mother of a child who suffers from Paxil heart defects, $2.5 million, in what was the first Paxil birth defect case to go to trial.

In studies conducted by researchers, results have repeatedly shown that taking Paxil, especially during the first trimester of pregnancy can result in a number of birth defects occurring, including: giving birth to a heart defect baby, pulmonary stenosis, club foot, lung defects, and craniosynostosis.

Suicidal & violent episodes -Paxil usage has been linked to an increase in suicidal tendencies and violent acts in users, particularly in adolescents and young adults between the ages of 18-30. In addition, the association between Paxil and pediatric suicidality has resulted in a number of pharmaceutical lawsuits, as well as the drug being banned in September of 2003, for use amongst individuals under the age of 18 in the United Kingdom.
Withdrawal symptoms - The effects of Paxil withdrawal have been closely compared to those experienced by users of illegal drugs like Ecstasy. Documented Paxil withdrawal effects can include suicidal behaviors, crying, breathing problems and seizures.

If you or a loved one has experienced any of these medical problems associated with using Paxil, seeking legal assistance is absolutely crucial. Receiving proper legal counsel is critical to the viability of your pharmaceutical lawsuits.

Successful Pharmaceutical Lawsuits Prove The Makers Of Paxil Are Responsible For Damage Caused By This Drug

[Posted on Oct 21]

As early as 1998 there were some concerned that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants could have tragic consequences if taken by a woman in or around pregnancy. One of the most widely used SSRI medications, Paxil, was released on the market in 1992 by GlaxoSmithKline, a leading drug company. When they were aware of the dangers of Paxil use by pregnant women is still up for dispute but recent pharmaceutical lawsuits filed against the company have proven that they bear responsibility for the damage their product has caused. As a result, GlaxoSmithKline has been forced to pay financial compensation to former patients.

You should speak with a Paxil lawyer if you used this medication prior to 2005 when the FDA officially reclassified the medication as a Category D drug. The FDA uses this classification to warn people about the harm drugs in this category can do to the unborn fetus. You can join others who have filed pharmaceutical lawsuits to ensure your voice is heard and that GlaxoSmithKline doesn’t get away with the damage they’ve caused. It takes this kind of litigation and pressure to force these drug companies to make changes so that these tragedies don’t happen again.

You’re likely to encounter some misinformation as you try to learn more about the effects of Paxil use. This is why it’s important as you begin to explore your legal options that you speak with a Paxil attorney who has a background in pharmaceutical lawsuits related specifically to this drug.

You cannot risk filing a prescription drug lawsuit that will simply be dismissed because your representation is outmatched, a mistake that has been made all too often.
