- Cancer Risks Associated With Paxil Usage
-
- The American Journal of Epidemiology published two studies
in 2000 by Cotterchio and colleagues which demonstrated that Paxil presented
a 720% increase in risk of breast cancer in females.
-
- The Canadian Cancer Society website indicates that for
heavy smokers there is a 400% increase in risk for cancer. In other words,
Paxil use presents a greater risk factor for breast cancer then smoking.
With over 3,000,000 Canadian prescriptions for Paxil in the year 2000 this
is major cause for concern.
