Neural Tube Defects Cause

For those families whose child suffers from neural tube defects (NTDs) such as spina bifida, life couldn’t get much more challenging, and although genetics may be to blame in many cases where this birth defect arises, in some cases where a child was born with Neural Tube Defects it is now being suspected that genetics or “nature” isn’t to blame, but instead, the blame may be placed on the prescription drug Paxil, also referred to as Paroxetine.



The popular prescription drug Paxil was manufactured as a way to help those who suffer from depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, as well as other negative health conditions, and although this drug may have proven to be effective in helping some with their conditions, for others it seems that Paxil has led to nothing but misery. Indeed, it is now recognized that taking the prescription drug Paxil during pregnancy may increase the risk for serious birth defects including neural tube defects, and since this is the case, those who took Paxil during pregnancy and who are now raising a child with spina bifida or another neural tube defect may be able to receive appropriate compensation for their family’s suffering via a Paxil lawsuit and with the assistance of a qualified attorney.

Was your son or daughter’s neural tube defect caused by Paxil? This may very well be the case if you or your loved one took the prescription drug Paxil during pregnancy.

Justice for your family’s pain can be won if, indeed, Paxil and the negligence of its maker really are to blame for your son or daughter’s neural tube defect.


Having a child born with neural tube defects (NTDs) such as spina bifida can be a terrible thing for a family, and although the child may be able to live a long and full life with the defect, the truth remains that a tremendous amount of challenge and suffering can stem from an NTD. What should occur if there is a suspicion that all of this suffering was the result of a prescription drug?

Paroxetine, better known as Paxil has been on the market for a number of years as a way to help treat those who suffer from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, and other psychological conditions, and although this drug may have been helpful for some, for others it seems that Paxil has been the reason why a tremendous amount of suffering is now being experienced. Several years ago, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning against Paxil as it had been concluded that taking this drug during pregnancy may increase the risk for serious birth defects including spina bifida, but since this warning had come years after Paxil’s release, there is a strong likelihood that a number of birth defects could be blamed on Paxil and on the negligence of its maker, GlaxoSmithKline.
