Paxil is the name of the anti-depressant drug paroxetine used in the United States and Canada. Paxil is a part of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class of anti-depressants and has been on the market since 1992. The drug is currently the subject of a fraud case due to allegations that manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline suppressed research suggesting that the drug was related to suicidal tendencies in young people.
Paxil has been associated with a series of undesired side effects, it studies indicate that it is relatively ineffective in children. In 2005 the FDA seized millions of Paxil tablets as a result of manufacturing problems experienced by GlaxoSmithKline. Additionally, the FDA has issued a public health advisory indicating a higher degree of caution when pregnant women use Paxil or paroxetine. Other Paxil complications involve sexual side effects and reports of withdrawal symptoms.
If you or someone you care about has endured unexpected or severe Paxil side effects or other health problems caused by Paxil, do not hesitate to contact an experienced attorney. An understanding and informed lawyer can help you and your family fight for justice and obtain the resources you are entitled to.
