Bob Fiddaman of Seroxat (Paxil) Sufferers had done a fine job of getting his hands on various transcripts and depositions from the recently-completed Paxil birth defects case in Pennsylvania. He’s now got up the deposition of Jane Nieman, a former GlaxoSmithKline employee. Go to his site to download the document.

Although there have been a few smallish articles in the US press, news of the $2.5 million jury award sure hasn’t shown up in the New York Times, Washington Post or LA Times. That’s kind of weird, especially in light of the fact that GSK faces about another 600 birth defects lawsuits and also because it’s very uncommon for a pharma company to lose a case involving an anti-depressant.

GSK has announced that it will appeal the verdict. I look forward to seeing what legal argument the company’s attorneys try to advance to undo the ruling.
