Warning on PaxilWarning on PaxilThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration has sent out a warning on the medicines Paxil (paroxetine) and Paxil CR. These antidepressants are used to treat depression. Taking Paxil or Paxil CR during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy may increase a woman's chance of having a baby with a birth defect. The maker of the medicine, GlaxoSmithKline, has changed the label on the medicine to reflect this. If you take Paxil or Paxil CR and are pregnant or are planning to get pregnant, talk to your doctor. Do not stop taking Paxil or Paxil CR unless you talk to your doctor first. Credits
