January 15, 2012
The FDA began issuing new warnings about the antidepressant Paxil in 2005. They reclassified the medication as a Category D drug, a move done to indicate the risks posed to fetuses if used by a mother during the pregnancy. Before this move was made by the FDA, the makers of Paxil did nothing to alert patients of the dangers of their product, even though there were many studies that suggested the risks much sooner. That research has shown mothers are at a much greater risk of giving birth to a heart defect baby if they continue to use Paxil while pregnant. A long list of Paxil birth defects are... (read more)
