Without Warning

Without Warning

Without Warning $9.08 2003: In Paris, an assassin wakes from a coma. In Kuwait, American forces are assembled for their invasion of Iraq. In the pristine forest of the Cascades, a lone hiker watches a plane fly into the side of a mountain. And just north of the Equator, a modern-day pirate, a rogue Tasmanian, is witness to the unspeakable. A wave of inexplicable energy has slammed into America. And destroyed it. In one instant, all around the world, from Cairo to Canberra, things will never be the same. Now, allied soldiers are fighting a war without command; a correspondent files a story for a newspaper that no longer exists. The line of Presidential succession is in tatters; the functioning remnants of government are in Pearl Harbor, Guantanamo Bay, and one desperate, isolated corner of the Pacific Northwest. For the jihadists, Allah has performed a miracle. For Sadaam, it is a chance for revenge. Iran declares war, but on an America that doesn’t exist, except in the hearts and souls of the men and women who want it to. For US allies, Armageddon has arrived. Israel acts. Australasia, far from the noxious waste darkening Europe’s skies, beckons as a possible oasis. Without Warning tells a fast, furious story of survival, violence, and a new, soul-shattering reality. Here is a world without its sheriff, its Great Satan, or its saviour… An unknowable future struggles to be born.

Paxil Birth Defects Warning Done A Little Too Late

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had first issued a warning to healthcare professionals and patients about Paxil’s potential to cause birth defects among newborns whose mothers took the drug during their first trimester, in December 2005. Because the FDA had already approved Paxil for public consumption 12 years ago in 1993, the warning may have come a little too late. Lawsuits and settlements have become part of The history of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), which manufactured Paxil. Another chapter of GSK’s entanglement with the law could be Paxil’s newly found side effects of birth defects.

Belonging to a group of medication known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), Paxil or Paroxetine has become one of the mostly prescribed antidepressant drugs since its approval in 1993. With some pregnant women prone to depression, it is not then surprising that the drug would be prescribed to them especially that it was first given the pregnancy category C classification by the FDA. However, medical studies have started linking Paxil to an increased risk of birth defects which eventually prompted FDA to issue a warning in 2005 and elevate its classification to pregnancy category D, which means there is human evidence of risk to infants, only 12 years after it was first approved for public consumption.

One could just imagine the number of pregnant women who were prescribed the drug in the last 12 years and how many of them could have given birth to malformed newborns and never knowing their medication was responsible for it. The most common birth defect is a heart defect in the baby; however, premature births and a serious condition where there is not enough oxygen in the baby's blood have also been reported by women who took Paxil during the first trimester of their pregnancy, according to the FDA. A study on the New England Journal of Medicine also found that women who took SSRIs during their third trimester were six times more likely to deliver babies born with persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) than those who didn't take SSRIs during their third trimester.

According to a study from Sweden, birth defects were twice as common among Paxil users as among women taking other antidepressants or none at all. The birth defects are not the only side effects of Paxil but it could be the worst because of its potential to harm innocent newborns. In 2003, the FDA had also issued a warning to healthcare professionals on reports of the occurrence of suicidal tendencies in clinical trials for various antidepressant drugs including Paxil in pediatric patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). According to Bloomberg, Glaxo had to pay out more than $2 billion to resolve prior litigation over claims that Paxil caused suicides and withdrawal from the drug. Several Paxil lawsuits are continued to be filed in relation to its newly found birth defect side effects, this time around.
