OBGYNs to Pregnant Women: Just Say No to Paxil
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has been clear in their recommendations to women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant: avoid use of Paxil (paroxetine), if possible. In a committee opinion, ACOG highlighted reports of fetal cardiac defects and newborn persistent pulmonary hypertension, among other damaging side effects, related to the use of Paxil (paroxetine) and similar selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) during pregnancy.
Multiple studies have confirmed the wisdom of ACOG’s advice. Although all SSRIs pose risks on pregnant women – and the child growing inside them – Paxil (paroxetine) increases the risk of a variety of congenital birth defects by more than 150 percent.
