Paroxetine Health Risks

Yet another drug on themarket has forced the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to release a statement of its health risks. This time it is Paraxetine, or Paxil, which is the name it is sold under in the United States. Paxil is used as an antidepressant on adults and teens. At the end of 2005, the FDA determined that a woman exposed to Paxil in the first trimester (first three months) of her pregnancy may increase the risk of her baby having "congenital malformations."

In addition, the FDA requested that Paxil's manufacturer update its label from category C to category D. These categories are specifically designed to give pregnant women an idea of what degree of health risks are associated with taking the medication. The FDA also wants Paxil's manufacturer to detail the risks to pregnant women and their fetus under the Warning section of the label. This warning should also be explained verbally to a female patient that is pregnant or has thought about becoming pregnant.
