Risking The Breath Of Life

One of the biggest risks we face today is taking prescription drugs that might not have been thoroughly tested before being placed on the market. Many of the new drugs being prescribed right now have not been around long enough to know if they cause side effects in the long run, and the drug companies, with what looks like seemingly permission of the FDA, are testing their product in the marketplace rather than the labratory. One possible side effect of SSRI antidepressants is PPHN.

Back in July of 2006, the FDA issued a public health warning because studies have shown that infants face an increasing risk of PPHN when their mothers took SSRI antidepressants during the last trimester of pregnancy. Now Paxil Attorneys California are looking for people who may have een affected by this.

PPHN is a life threatening disorder in which a newborn's arteries to their lungs remain constricted after delivery which reduces the amount of oxygen that gets into the bloodstream. Many babies born with PPH require intensive care and mechanical ventilation. While many babies survive, up to 20% do not. If you, or someone you know has delivered a child that has been affected by the side effects of SSRI antidepressants, you should contact the FDA and Paxil Lawyers California.
