Paxil Information and Warnings

Paxil is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) approved for treatment of depression and several related disorders in adults. Paxil is not approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for treatment of children, because studies presented to the FDA have not shown that Paxil is effective for treating children under 18.

Paxil has been implicated in several serious and often life-threatening side effects including suicide, birth defects, and terrible withdrawal symptoms in patients and infants whose mothers took Paxil during pregnancy. A March 2006 study linked Paxil and other SSRIs to a new form of birth defect. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that infants born to mothers who took SSRIs, including Paxil, in the last half of their pregnancies were 6 times more likely to develop persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN). Infants with PPHN don’t get enough oxygen and require intensive care to survive. Around 10 to 20 percent die soon after birth and some survivors suffer from deafness and neurological problems.
A 2005 FDA warning also implicated Paxil in congenital malformations. (See Drug Warnings: Paxil Side Effects and Risks) Two studies in 2005 indicated that Paxil was more likely to cause side effects than other drugs in the SSRI category. A September 2005 study presented to the FDA showed that there was a higher risk of major congenital malformations in infants whose mothers took Paxil during the first trimester of pregnancy than with other SSRIs.
Paxil, along with all the other SSRIs has been linked with suicide and suicidal thoughts in children, adolescents, and adults. An August 2005 study from Norway found that Paxil presented a higher risk of suicide in adults than other drugs.
Paxil and other SSRI drugs are often prescribed under the American Psychiatric Association treatment guidelines, which say, “most moderately and severely depressed patients will require medication.” A 2005 study led by Pennsylvania psychologist Robert DeRubeis and Steven Hollon from Vanderbilt, has challenged this assumption. Their study found that cognitive therapy was as effective and lasted longer than treatment with SSRI drugs in depressed patients. Most of the patients in the study took SSRIs received Paxil. DeRubeis and Hollon recommend that the American Psychiatric Association revise its treatment guidelines.
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2008 showed that there were several negative studies showing that antidepressants are not significantly successful in treating depression, but that these studies were either usually not published in the U.S. or were published with misleading results. Because this information has been withheld from doctors and the public, they have been unable to make informed choices about whether antidepressants like Paxil are worth the many risks.
If you’re taking Paxil, you may want to consult with your health care provider about alternative therapies. If you’re pregnant or considering becoming pregnant, consult with your health care provider immediately about possible birth defects. If you or a family member has been injured from using Paxil, you may be entitled to damages.

What are the benefits of marking?

Marking Benefits Trademark Law Intellectual Property

What are the benefits of marking?

Marking provides certain procedural advantages to the owner when attempting to enforce the mark. You cannot obtain lost profits and damages, if you don’t use the notice. However, marking need not be made each and every time the mark is used. It need only be used in a fair representative number of cases.

Marking may also be important if you have a weak unregistered mark and you are attempting to build secondary meaning in your mark in order to get it registered. Similarly, if you have a very popular mark which is in danger of becoming generic, make sure you mark it. A trademark attorney can give you guidelines to enable you to balance your desire for protection with your desire to have goods and services “uncluttered” by all sorts of legalese.

What about protecting trade secrets when dealing with federal government?

Protecting Trade Secrets Trade Secrets Intellectual Property

What about protecting trade secrets when dealing with federal government?

The Federal government has specific guidelines for protecting trade secrets, although (surprise) its nomenclature is somewhat different than the private sector. The Federal government recognizes protection for “technical data rights” as well as “cost and pricing information”. The onus is on the private parties to ensure that all the trade secrets are clearly marked.

The Federal government has many specific clauses governing the protection and use of trade secrets and unless you and your lawyer knows what s/he is doing, a trade secret holder could easily lose his/her rights if not careful. Therefore, it is best to consult with a government contract/intellectual property specialist before submitting a bid or proposal for the government’s consideration.

Drug Warning: ReNu with MoistureLoc Side Effects and Risks

Bausch & Lomb voluntarily withdrew its soft contact lens solution, ReNu with MoistureLoc, from the market in April 2006, after the CDC (Center for Disease Control) reported an unusual number of cases of a normally rare fungal eye infection called Fusarium keratitis. This infection can cause serious damage to the eye and blindness.

The CDC had reports of 109 cases of Fusarium keratitis in 17 states over the previous 10 months. When they conducted interviews in 30 cases they found that 28 of the subjects were soft contact lens users and 26 of them used ReNu with MoistureLoc. This raised concerns that ReNu was causing the infections and that soft contact lens users had a high Fusarium keratitis risk.

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) issued a statement on April 13, 2006, announcing Bausch & Lomb’s voluntary withdrawal of the product and the company’s Fusarium keratitis warning to the public. The FDA suggested that clinicians with patients who have microbial keratitis consider the possibility that the infections may be fungal and refer the patients to ophthalmologists to have the condition tested if appropriate.

The FDA issued another statement the next day announcing that the FDA had begun inspection of Bausch & Lomb manufacturing facilities on March 22, 2006 and would continue inspections. The FDA is looking for evidence of contamination that would show Fusarium keratitis is a ReNu with MoistureLoc side effect.

The FDA and CDC gave the following guidelines for soft contact lens users to avoid contracting Fusarium keratitis:

Wash hands with soap and water, and dry (lint-free method) before handling lenses.

Wear and replace lenses according to the schedule prescribed by the doctor.

Follow the specific lens cleaning and storage guidelines from the doctor and the solution manufacturer.

Keep the contact lens case clean and replace every 3-6 months.

Remove the lenses and consult your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms such as redness, pain, tearing, increased light sensitivity, blurry vision, discharge, or swelling.
