Details
- The FDA is out with a new warning for pregnant women who take the anti-depressant Paxil.
- The drug may cause an increased risk of birth defects in their babies.
- Two studies show women who took Paxil during their first trimester were up to two times more likely to have children with a heart defect.
- So the FDA is advising doctors and patients to discuss the risks to figure out if women should stop taking the drug.
- The FDA has also asked the drug's maker to add a stronger warning about pregnancy complications to the label.
- That maker, Glaxo Smith Kline, has sent a letter about these new findings to doctors around the country.
