New Paxil Lawsuit on Birth Defect: Now, AttorneyOne Can Provide Advice
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) August 20, 2013 -- AttorneyOne.com, a recognized authority on law, updated the website recently and they are now actively providing expert opinion in view of the recent news on Paxil Side Effects lawsuits.
On June 26, a new lawsuit was filed by a mother and her daughter in Pennsylvania Eastern District Court (case no. 2:2013cv03696), alleging that the daughter suffered birth defects from her mother's ingestion of Paxil during pregnancy. Paxil, produced by GlaxoSmithKline and approved in 1992 by the FDA, is an antidepressant drug belonging to a group called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs claim that the daughter had a critical neural tube defect that required surgery.
A new study published online on June 12, in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, reveals that paroxetine (Paxil) could be linked to birth defects and more specifically, to increased risk of cardiac malformations. According to this study “fluoxetine and paroxetine should be avoided in the first trimester and among those at risk of an unplanned pregnancy.”
Taking into consideration the latest developments, AttorneyOne.com updated the website and, now, can actively provide an expert opinion including how to get in contact with legal counsel easily and inexpensively in case of alleged Paxil serious complications. Sean Burke, director of Media Relations at AttorneyOne.com, adds that the relevant information illustrates that people continue to file Paxil lawsuits. "For that reason," he continues, "our focus should squarely fall on getting the word out and assisting people in finding the right legal assistance.”
On February 14, lawyers representing GlaxoSmithKline filed a notice of removal to federal courthouse for a Paxil birth defects lawsuit (case no. 2:2013cv00806, Pennsylvania Eastern District Court). In the lawsuit, plaintiffs claim their son was born with birth defects because his mother ingested Paxil during pregnancy.
