Paxil birth defect mother became pregnant late in life - child plays volleyball and takes tae kwon do lessons

Glaxo officials contend Paxil played no role in Anna’s heart defects. They were most likely caused by genetics or the fact that her mother became pregnant late in life, Chilton Varner, a lawyer for the drugmaker, told jurors.




The deaths of Paxil animal test subjects had nothing “to do with Anna Blyth’s heart defects,” Varner said.

Varner also said Anna, an honor student who plays volleyball and takes tae kwon do lessons, has suffered no lasting effects from her early heart problems.




“She is not on any heart medications and hasn’t suffered any palpitations,” Varner said. “That’s the good news in the case.”
