Marketed since 1992, the well known antidepressant drug Paxil has become known for severe Paxil side effects, including violent or even suicidal behavior by users. But it's growing worse. Women who take Paxil during pregnancy may have their infant born with birth defects including injury to the lungs, brain, spinal column, heart and other vital organs.

The blame goes to GlaxoSmithKline P.L.C., an England-based pharmaceutical giant which had almost $1 billion in sales last year from Paxil alone - and that was only about 2 per cent of its total sales. But while Glaxo has reaped billions, Paxil side effects have left many Americans with tragic results. And that's got to stop.

An effective method for fighting Paxil side effects such as debilitating birth defects is to send a strong, clear message to this negligent drug giant that its failures are not acceptable. Indeed, over 600 lawsuits in America have been filed against Glaxo, asserting it's been negligent in creating and selling a defective drug which can be dangerous.

Among such lawsuits was one by Pennsylvania parents whose son was born with heart ailments after his mother took Paxil as an antidepressant during her pregnancy. The boy lived, but he did need several surgeries. That's why a jury in Philadelphia, PA last fall awarded his parents $2.5 million in compensatory damages for their suffering from defective drug Paxil.

As a result of Paxil side effects injuries such as birth defects, the Food and Drug Administration has brandished public health advisories on the harmful drug. The FDA also strengthened its warning to consumers that it branded on Paxil's label. Even so, the drug is still sold, and its victims still increase.
