  • Birth Injury Lawyer Chicago: GlaxoSmithKline Releases Warning Label for Paxil

    [ April 3, 2010 | Jay Paul Deratany | Posted in Birth Injury, Chicago ]

    GlaxoSmithKline Releases Warning Label for Paxil When a couple is expecting a child one thing that is normally not planned for is any type of birth injury. Birth injuries can turn a joyous occasion into one of fear and worrisome. The most common types of birth injuries stem from having a decreased flow of blow which in turn causes a lack of oxygen. This lack of oxygen can cause the baby to suffocate or suffer from heart, lung, and spinal cord injuries. Doctors are very careful when administering labor for they are constantly checking the heart beat of the baby to make sure that the baby is getting sufficient oxygen. When the situation turns for the worse, usually a caesarian is administered to get the baby out in a very small amount of time so that the baby does not incur any birth injuries. Usually doctors are able to catch any negative implications of a birth injury, however there are some cases where the doctor is unable to anything. These types of events occur when some other factor has attributed to causing a birth injury. One of the more common causes for a birth injury in the last couple of years has been chalked up to the drug Paxil. If you have taken Paxil while pregnant and it has caused birthing complications, contact a Birth Injury Lawyer in Chicago.

    Paxil is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, which was first introduced into the market back in 1992. Paxil is an antidepressant that had much success and popularity in which in 2006 it was used by millions of people. In that same year however, a warning was issued and put on all Paxil products that pregnant women should not be taking the drug. This came to as a shock to many for women and teenagers were the main targets for Paxil. After the warning was issued, a lot of unanswered questions were finally answered. For women that incurred birthing complications that left their child with a birth injury now made sense for they had been taking Paxil while pregnant. Now that this information is out and publicized, it is up to the victims to make sure that GlaxoSmithKline never commits this mistake again. Therefore it is imperative for the victims to contact a Birth Injury Lawyer in Illinois and file a claim. In doing this it will send a message to GlaxoSmithKline and other large pharmaceutical companies that these types of actions will not be tolerated.

    If you or a loved one has seen the negative effects of Paxil, contact a Birth Injury Lawyer in Chicago. They will be able to assess your situation individually and determine what steps to take next. A Birth Injury Lawyer in Chicago has the accessibility to all of the top experts that will be able to prove that Paxil has negatively affected you and caused your child injury. They have the experience needed to stand up to a large pharmaceutical company that may intimidate others.
