Paxil has been on the market since 1992, but FDA warnings regarding the potential side effects were only gradually released over many years after the drug's release to the public. Court trials have found that GlaxoSmithKline failed to further investigate indications of potential adverse effects while conducting their drug trials. Furthermore, the FDA advises doctors should not prescribe Paxil to pregnant women unless they specifically judge the benefits to outweigh the risks. Conclusions made on this subject are a subject of contention and debate, as the science behind the workability of Paxil has yet to be medically proven.

There are many severe side effects caused by Paxil, including heart defects and abnormalities of the head and skull, the heart, lungs, or abdomen in a child during gestation . As the pharmaceutical companies failed to take the proper care in testing and informing consumers of the inherent risks and dangers in this drug, they must be held accountable for their actions.
