We all need someone to fight on our side every now and again. For those of us in a particularly vulnerable situation – facing our own illness or the illness of someone we love – the need for assistance is great, especially that assistance that comes with understanding, knowledge, and a plan of action.

Those families that have a newborn that is struggling with a condition known as PPHN know all too well how important it is to have someone fighting on their side; especially as such a condition carries with it the need to understand the pharmaceutical industry, as well as the law.

PPHN – or Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn – is a serious condition that impacts the ability of a newborn baby to breathe unassisted. Essentially the arteries that are constricted while the baby is in the womb (as it receives its oxygen from its mother) fail to expand following birth as they should. This means that blood is not able to flow and oxygen is not able to circulate throughout the body as it should. PPHN can be fatal and requires medical care in order for recovery to be a possibility.

Those struggling with PPHN may feel alone in the world especially as they struggle to understand the often complex medical terms associated with the condition. Additionally, because PPHN can be caused by the taking of Paxil® and other SSRI antidepressants during pregnancy, parents of children with PPHN may be facing an additional set of issues.

In this regard, Paxil® attorneys in California can be most helpful in assisting families understand the complexities associated with PPHN and the role that Paxil® can take in such an illness. Further, Paxil® attorneys in California represent family members of children with PPHN – helping to make a legal case for them and grant them financial restitution.
