The maker of the antidepressant Paxil has been hit with several new lawsuits, including two involving Ohio residents, that claim the drug caused heart defects with serious health consequences including death.
The lawsuit charges that use of the drug by pregnant women led to heart defects in their children. The suits also allege that the birth defects led to the deaths of three children and have seriously impaired the health of two others. The families are seeking unspecified damages from GlaxoSmithKline.
