GSK antidepressant Paxil to blame for baby's heart defects US jury rules
(Telegraph 15/10/2009)
A US family has been awarded £1.6 million in damages after a Philadelphia jury decided that the antidepressant Paxil known as Seroxat in Britain was responsible for their son's birth defects. GlaxoSmithKline Plc, the British manufacturer of Seroxat, said it would appeal against the verdict in the case, which is the first of 600 such cases to come to trial. Jurors deliberated about seven hours over two days before finding Glaxo failed to properly warn doctors and pregnant users of Paxil' s risk.
