Omphalocele
Omphalocele is a birth defect that can be caused by the exposure of an unborn baby to a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) such as Paxil ®. A child with an omphalocele is born with its intestines, liver and/or spleen outside its abdomen. Paxil ® use in the first trimester of a pregnancy is reported to increase the risk of an omphalocele by six-fold, and unfortunately a woman may be using Paxil ® before she even realizes that she is pregnant.
Paxil ® is prescribed to treat patients with:
- Depression
- Social anxiety
- Post traumatic stress disorder
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder
The pharmaceutical companies that market drugs like Paxil ® have a duty to ensure that their products are safe and that the consumers of these drugs are adequately warned about any risks the drugs present. When this duty is not met, the people who have been harmed by the drug have the legal right to pursue compensation for their losses. The experienced attorneys of Motley Rice Medical practice group have many decades of combined experience in securing such compensation for the victims of dangerous drugs.
