There were some concerns shortly after its release about the potential risks of women using Paxil during their pregnancy but it wasn't until 2005 when the FDA finally acknowledged the data collected in a number of studies that the public became fully aware of the dangers. The FDA reexamined Paxil and determined that it should be a Category D drug, a classification they use warn against the harm a drug can do to an unborn fetus. This is research that had been going on for years but it was finally to the point that it could no longer be denied that the medication was the cause of birth defects, including the congenital heart disease coarctation of the aorta.

Families who had given birth to a child with Coarctation of the Aorta years ago didn't always know there was a specific cause to the condition but this move by the FDA made them aware that Paxil was a likely contributor.For these victims, it was hard to imagine that things could get worse regarding their child's condition. But the discovery that had the makers of Paxil, GlaxoSmithKline, provided warnings earlier, their child's Coarctation of the Aorta could have been prevented certainly made their situation that much more tragic.

This has prompted a tremendous amount of litigation towards GlaxoSmithKline. In many instances, a Paxil lawsuit is about getting much needed help in paying for healthcare for their heart defect baby. The kinds of treatment and extensive hospital stays that are required for a child with a congenital heart condition like Coarctation of the Aorta are expensive and these families shouldn't have to add financial troubles to their already difficult situation. Many believe the costs of this treatment should be the responsibility of GlaxoSmithKline. But they are not voluntarily providing compensation to these victims and that's why a Paxil lawsuit is the only option.
