GlaxoSmithKline Facebook Update

Well, it would appear that Glaxo are offering advice to pregnant mothers taking Paxil on their Facebook page. When I say 'advice' I mean they are referring someone to "talk to their doctor".

A subscriber to the page wrote:[1]

Hi , A friend of mine is taking paroxetine and she is thinking of having a baby. Is paroxetine a teratogen?

Glaxo responded with:

Hi Joanne – We are not allowed to discuss product information or offer advice to individuals about medicines. Please ask your friend to speak to her healthcare provider if she has any concerns about her medication.

This is similar to the 'advice' they give to patients who contact them asking for help withdrawing from Seroxat [known as Paxil in the US] - [Back story]

Oh, and they removed my advice to the concerned patient. [2]
