Every year, hundreds if not thousands of newborns suffer injury as a result of their prenatal exposure to their mother’s antidepressant medication, such as Paxil (paroxetine) or another selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Sometimes the fallout is minor; in other cases, the effects are serious and include life threatening heart and lung defects.
Parents suffer, too. Whether counted in medical dollars or lost nights sleep, the reality is that the effects Paxil can have on a family are powerful. In some cases, the child’s injury and the resulting physical and emotional harm can give rise to legal claims.
