Paxil side effects, surgeries can spur a Paxil birth defects lawsuit

Many American women have taken antidepressant drug Paxil during their pregnancy. Now many American newborn children are suffering birth defects as a result. Since 2005 Paxil has been shown to have serious side effects in newborn babies, including ailments of the heart, brain, spinal cord, lungs and other vital organs. Such Paxil side effects injuries often require surgery or even repeated surgeries to correct.

That’s a high price to pay for the negligence of a pharmaceuticals giant such as Paxil creator GlaxoSmithKline of London, England. GSK reaps almost $1 billion per year in Paxil sales in America alone, and that huge amount is only about 2 per cent of its total annual drug sales. Meanwhile, American children are suffering horribly due to Paxil side effects injuries.

Fortunately, the legal system provides a means for addressing such negligence. Already, more than 100 Paxil lawsuits have been filed. Indeed, last fall a Philadelphia, PA jury awarded $2.5 million to a family whose infant son was born with heart problems requiring several surgeries after his mother took Paxil during pregnancy.

If you, too, need to press a Paxil lawsuit to recover damages for your child’s Paxil birth defects injury, alert a defective drugs lawyer or attorney with Jim S. Adler & Associates and launch the process of gaining economic recovery. A Paxil side effects lawsuit can send a strong message to negligent multi-billion dollar corporation GSK that Americans will not tolerate the harm its defective drug has inflicted on innocent newborns.
