It's been revealed in recent years that neural tube defects in newborns are among the health problems that are linked to use of the medication Paxil by a mother during pregnancy. This was prior to official warnings made by the FDA in 2005 that finally confirmed the research which indicated women who are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant should not take Paxil. But those FDA warnings about Paxil birth defects came over a decade after the drug had first been released and regularly prescribed to women so there are numerous instances of children with neural tube defects.

Those cases should have been avoided had GlaxoSmithKline been more proactive with their warnings even if they were unsure about the validity of the research that was being released. It would have been better if they'd chosen to be safe rather than sorry but instead they caused tremendous amount of pain to be felt by the families of children with neural tube defects like spina bifida and anencephaly. This has led to a number of Paxil lawsuits being filed and subsequently won against GlaxoSmithKline.

Courts across the country have ruled against GlaxoSmithKline and in favor of families that have given birth to a child with neural tube defects that were caused by Paxil. This is serving as proof to other victims that they can take action against a large corporation like GlaxoSmithKline and be successful. But not all of these Paxil pharmaceutical lawsuits have led to financial compensation for victims. Those that fail to hire qualified legal representation find that the lawyers of GlaxoSmithKline are often able to dismiss their cases before they even get to court.

While many lawyers will claim they can serve as a Paxil attorney, they don't always have the background and experience that's needed to do the job.
