Lawsuits Against The Makers Of PaxilIf
you have taken the drug Paxil at any point and suffered from serious side
effects as a result of that prescription, you may be eligible to join an
ongoing Paxil Lawsuit. There is an ongoing
case against the makers of this drug (GlaxoSmithKline – formerly SmithKline
Beecham) which is attempting to seek personal injury damages as a result of
side effects caused by this SSRI. The actual medication is known as Paroxetine,
and it is marketed under the names Aropax, Paxil, and Seroxat. There
is a very wide range of Paxil side
effects which fall under the purview of this ongoing lawsuit. The more
severe of the injury that was caused to a patient who was prescribed the drug;
the more likely they may be of having a successful case against the makers of
the drug. The types of side effects include physical, psychological, and
pregnancy related problems. There
are two categories of side effects which have been gaining the most attention
on the legal front. The first of these are the side effects which are related
to pregnancy. If you have either suffered a spontaneous abortion, or had a
child born with a birth defect after taking Paxil, then you need to speak to a Paxil attorney as soon as
possible. This is especially true if the defect is a congenital heart defect,
as the rates of this problem are now thought to increase dramatically in
mothers who have taken Paxil. The other side effects that are gathering the
most attention are the withdrawal syndrome problems which many who discontinue
their use of Paxil are now suffering from. The reason the withdrawal syndrome is getting so much attention from lawyers is that the drug was specifically marketed as not carrying this problem. There are many drugs which are prescribed for the treating of psychiatric conditions that are habit forming, and are advertised as carrying that as one of their side effects. Paxil was marketed as being a great alternative to many of those products because it was not thought to carry the same risks, although that has turned out not to be the case. Because the company said that the drug was safe in a certain way and it has since turned out not to be, there is significant possibility for legal action against the company. This opens the door in a much more concrete way than when people are suing drug companies for side effects of which they were warned through the labeling. Paxil-Side-Effects.net
represents Paxil victims nationwide. Paxil victims have suffered from a wide
range of health problems including birth defects, septal heart defects,
suicidal tendency, high blood pressure
