Pulmonary Stenosis
Parents Face Hardships When Their Children are Born with Pulmonary Stenosis
Childbirth is a very joyous occasion. Welcoming a new child into the world is a blessing for any parent. However, some of that joy can turn to heartbreak once it is discovered that the newborn child has a heart defect. It is even more heartbreaking to find out that the cause was due to Paxil intake. Studies have shown that taking Paxil while pregnant has resulted in some babies being born with heart defects such as Tetralogy of Fallot, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, Interrupted Aortic Arch and Pulmonary Stenosis. Any of these defects can result in possible heart surgery or lifelong medical care. The medical cost for treating these defects can skyrocket through the roof and most likely the parents are unable to afford such treatment.
A defect such as Pulmonary Stenosis can be serious to anyone especially to a newborn child. This defect narrows the pulmonary valve and causes the right ventricle to pump even harder than normal just to get the blood past the blockage. This can cause damage to the heart muscle and cause cyanosis in some babies. While there are treatments available to help with the blockage, the valve will never be made normal. One such treatment involves placing a catheter with a balloon across the pulmonary valve. The balloon is later inflated to stretch open the valve.
If you are a parent whose child was born with a heart defect like Pulmonary Stenosis and you know the mother took Paxil while pregnant, you could have the basis for a lawsuit against Paxil�s manufacturers. You will need to hire an experienced attorney who knows the inner workings of the legal system as well as how to combat drug manufacturers in court. They can act as your guide to financial compensation. Your child should not have to endure a life of doctor visits and operations just to stay alive because a drug company put out a product they knew was harmful to people. No one asks for heart defects like Pulmonary Stenosis or Coarctation of the Aorta. Make them answer with a good Paxil attorney.

Families Have Learned That It Was Paxil That Caused Their Child To Be Born With Pulmonary Stenosis
[Posted on Nov 18]
The success had by former Paxil patients with their pharmaceutical lawsuits has served as encouragement to others that are considering a similar type of litigation. A significant number of women used Paxil during their pregnancy prior to the warnings from the FDA about the potential harm to their unborn baby and now have a child dealing with serious health problems, including heart conditions like pulmonary stenosis. Any complications or health issues shortly after birth are especially tricky due to the delicate nature of a child that age.
This is why when the doctor informs the parents of a baby with pulmonary stenosis that they will need to perform corrective surgery, they are greatly concerned. They know that while the procedure represents the best chance their child has of overcoming the pulmonary stenosis, that there are tremendous risks involved. When the surgery works, these parents are greatly relieved but still cognizant of the fact that there are no guarantees and that the long term health of their child is still very much in question.
They will also then realize that they are left with extensive medical bills that they could have never prepared for. This is why when they witness another family going through a similar situation that have filed a prescription drug lawsuit against the makers of Paxil, GlaxoSmithKline, and have it result in substantial financial compensation, they wonder if they are entitled to the same kind of restitution. By reaching out to an experienced Paxil attorney, they can learn if they are and what needs to be done to get that much needed relief.
The Law Offices of Chandler, Mathis, & Zivley, PC, want to help as many former Paxil patients and their families as possible so they provide a free case review for these victims. This is a no pressure, no obligation opportunity for someone to speak with a Paxil attorney that has represented others in their cases against GlaxoSmithKline and get credible advice. The most successful Paxil lawsuits were those represented by an attorney that had experience specifically related to the medication and understands the research that has linked it to pulmonary stenosis or another birth defect. An attorney with only a very basic familiarity with the science that shows how Paxil causes conditions like pulmonary stenosis isn’t going to be immediately prepared to go up against the lawyers of a major pharmaceutical company.
