Question:
One of the responses was that Diclectin has been used for 40 years, but has anyone studied the long term effects on children that were born of mothers who take this drug? Whether there is any neurological problems or other health problems?
Thank you.
Answer:
Motherisk has completed a long term
neurological study that has been submitted for publication, where
we compared children of mothers who took Diclectin to
others who did not, and could find no differences in
any of the neurological tests that were administered,
between the the two groups.
