Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn, known as PPHN, is a life-threatening condition which causes abnormalities in the blood flow of newborns. PPHN is serious enough to cause permanent brain damage and even death in some cases. PPHN is the result of elevated vascular resistance, and it is associated with other types of diseases including pulmonary parenchymal disease, transient tachypnea of the newborn, persistent fetal circulation, and hypoplasia of the lungs. Ultimately, PPHN causes inefficient and incomplete circulation and can translate into lengthy hospital visits and extensive medical bills. Additionally, PPHN is incredibly emotionally traumatic for the families coping with such a horrific condition.

Recently, studies have indicated a link between the rise in the incidence of PPHN and Paxil® usage. According to these studies, women who used Paxil® throughout their pregnancies were six times as likely to give birth to babies with PPHN. Though Paxil® provided relief from depression for these women, PPHN is a far worse and more severe consequence to pay than the relief received from Paxil® usage.
