Do You Know the Risks? Learn More About Paxil From an Experienced Lawyer at Weitz and Luxenberg
Paroxetine or paroxetine hydrochloride (sold under the trade names Paxil® in
the United States, Seroxat® in the UK and China, Aropax® in Australia and New
Zealand, Deroxat in Switzerland) is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) type.
It was released onto the market in 1992
by the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline and has since become one of the
most prescribed antidepressants on the market. It is the second most prescribed
anti-depressant in the UK.
It is now the subject of a fraud case in the
United States due to allegations that GlaxoSmithKline suppressed research
indicating that the drug caused young people to become suicidal.
Like
some other antidepressants, it is also prescribed in the treatment of anxiety
disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It was the first (and as of
2002, the only) antidepressant formally approved in the United States for the
treatment of social anxiety disorder, causing it to be sometimes referred to
(although inaccurately) as an anti-shyness drug.
