Paxil (paroxetine) is a uniquely dangerous drug. Like many dangerous drugs, the risks associated with Paxil are severe, including life-threatening conditions. Unlike most dangerous drugs, however, Paxil doesn’t impose serious risk to the person taking the drug, but to a related third-party. In the case of Paxil, the related third-party is none other than the child who develops in a mother’s womb.
According to a recently published study conducted in Sweden, birth defects were twice as common among pregnant mothers who took Paxil during their pregnancy than women who did not take Paxil. The good news is that Paxil birth defects may be surgically repaired. The bad news is that failure to address Paxil-induced birth defects promptly could result in severe heart complications and cause permanent injury and death.
