Bendectin And Birth Defects (Page 36) (Top voted first)

I took this drug in the 1970's while pregnant. Am looking for the side effects to the babies. Drug has been off the market for many years. Not sure on correct spelling. Used for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Thank you for any help you can send me. Sincerely, Dana.

I took Benedictine in 1967, 1968, 1989. My third son was born with defects: He had a hemangioma near his windpipe and had to have a trach for 16 mo. at age 6mo. At age 7 he was diagnosed with kidney failure due to a undersized ureter and underwent surgery to open the ureter. He was under dr. care until he was 12. As an adult, he has experienced kidney problems including scar tissue which had to be removed. I really believe that Benedictine had something to do with these problems.

I took bendictine in 1978-79 and again in 1981-82. Both children experience mirror reflexes. My daughter is 30 and my son is 26. He cannot turn a wrench without the other hand doing it too. The doctor said that they would grow out of it, but they did not. The Airforce doctor had stated that mirror reflexes are a side effect of bendictine. Has the drug manufacturer done anything to compensate for these 'side effects'?
