Paxil Birth Defects

Paxil is prescribed for depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Paxil use during pregnancy can result in several types of serious birth defects.

Heart Malformations & PPHN
Studies have shown that babies whose mothers took Paxil during the first trimester of pregnancy are nearly twice as likely to be born with heart defects, and those whose mothers used Paxil in the third trimester are six times as likely to be born with a potentially fatal condition known as persistent pulmonary hypertension, or PPHN. Other birth defects associated with Paxil use during pregnancy include craniosynostosis and omphalocele.
