subject: Paxil Has Been Linked To Cases Of Cleft Lip In The Children Of Many Former Patients [print this page] Families that have given birth to a child with cleft lip that they believe was caused by the mother's use of Paxil during pregnancy are left with a lot of things to ponder. Their immediate concern is clearly the health of the child and how this condition will affect them going forward. They'll want to provide the child with any treatment necessary to ensure they are able to live a healthy life in the future. But they might also be faced with the reality of the costs for that treatment and how that will put any sort of financial burden on the family.
Certainly if cleft lip can be avoided, it should be but the makers of Paxil failed to provide adequate warnings about the increased chances of this condition and other Paxil birth defects prior to 2005. When first released on the market, thousands of mothers unknowingly put their children's health at risk because GlaxoSmithKline, the makers of Paxil, didn't offer warnings about the potential harm continued use of the antidepressant can do if used during pregnancy. Had the company at least acknowledged the possibility posed by the earliest studies that suggested a link between Paxil and these birth defects, these women could have considered alternative medications that would have been safe for use during pregnancy. Because they weren't given this option, many former Paxil users are now moving forward with a prescription drug lawsuit. Pursuing a Paxil lawsuit against GlaxoSmithKline is perhaps the only way of holding them accountable for their negligence. Your child's cleft lip will require serious medical attention and the costs of that kind of healthcare can be substantial. You shouldn't have to struggle financially because GlaxoSmithKline was careless or late to reacting with the warnings about the potential for Paxil birth defects.
