The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been clear: Paxil (paroxetine) may increase the risk of birth defects, particularly heart defects, when women take it during the first trimester.
For patients, Paxil is often an important weapon in the fight against depression. Sadly, however, medical studies have concluded that early term prenatal Paxil exposure can increase the likelihood that a child is born with a birth defect by as much as 200 percent. Particularly common Paxil-related birth defects include atrial and ventricular septal defects, including conditions that require life-threatening surgical treatment.
