Yutopar Aka Ritodrine Experiences (Page 7) (Top voted first)

My husband and I have had our daughter, which is now 30, tested for everything and the doctors can't seem to be able to give us a diagnosis, and things are not getting any better. My beautiful daughter has struggled and suffered so much and it breaks my heart to know that the Yutopar that was given to me, affected my baby. My daughter is the one who suffers from it on a daily basis. My second child is normal, and I did not take the drug while carrying him. I would really like to talk to all of you, something needs to be done to care for these kids that are now adults that can not cope. They sleep, eat, are extremely depressed, suicidal thoughts, learning problems, unable to conform to society, lies, bi-polar, anti-social, can't function in everyday life and with everyday problems.We need help. If anyone out there could possible contact me {edited for privacy}.

No lawyer will bother with this case. It's too old and the medication was removed. Many have tried and failed.

I suffer with health issues no one else has and mental...

But too old of a case for a lawyer to take on.

Re: Mdijon (# 147)

unsure if it stated copper or its named something else, but saw other "options" one basically the cannabis way, therapist wants me to try the oil, need it legal in NY, plus not "free" would cost almost $200, yuh, don't have that kind of money till i can do a job.

I know this is a continual battle. I have just become almost emotionless myself, it's just a coping mechanism I guess. I honestly don't know what I'd do if I had twins or 2 damaged by Ritodrine I guess the same thing. 1 day at a time, and enjoy their periods of well-being. And yes the cbd oil is like you say...I wonder if you have to be careful about taking it with other natural therapies. I'd say so. Or least don't take them all together.

Re: Molly (# 104)

Hi Molly. Did you find any lawsuits? I also suffered from kidney issues from this, autoimmune symptoms and leaky gut. I have always said I had perfect health til I took this and two of my children were affected by this drug!! I was on it many many months with my first two kids and I swore it was doing nothing and was harming me and my babies. With my 3 rd child I learned a glass of wine daily kept me from pre term labor and that pregnancy was great. I did the same with the 4th one no problem. Last two kids no issues (I am not a drinker) so this was hard for me yet I see the difference. After my first pregnancy and using Yutopar I became pre-diabetic and have suffered since and many other health issues from this stuff. It’s all adding up now.

Re: Freedom (# 155)

It’s so hard to hear these harsh words from our kids when all that we want is to help them have as normal a life as possible and experience happiness for once in their lives. I have to keep reminding myself that this is the illness talking, not them. My oldest has gone through absolute hell and doesn’t want to live anymore. None of the medications have worked for him and he’s tried so many. Doctors keep saying meds are the only way to treat this, yet they do not work. Some have made him much worse. The doctors are not the least bit interested in looking at the functioning of the brain or hearing anything about pregnancy complications. Just want to hear current symptoms and pull out the prescription pad, then bring in the next patient$$$.

Re: mig (# 157)

It is about money. Medication will not help us who been affected. Better off of it in correct therapy. And known fact that anything natural is MORE helpful.

Just wish health issues were just as easy...

I am from Greece and I came across Ritodrine a week ago when my wife had a cervical cerclage on the 14th week (light surgery with light anesthesia, for 40') in order to avoid preterm birth and she was administered for about 6 hours a drip (serum with Ritordine) in order to avoid contractions after the surgery at the cervix. Immediately I searched for it and found you guys and demanded to stop the medication, which it did. She took about 1/10 of a drip and that was it. As I understand, unfortunately, still here in Greece Ritodrine may be used for situations like that. I told it to the doctor and he knew about the pill's withdrawal but not about the long-term effect on children. I am very very worried (terrified) from all the heartbreaking stories in here, since we are struggling to have a baby (and had some serious misfortunes also in the past) but as I understand it the medication you describe here was long term, right? Has anyone seen bad results in their children with less time on Yutopar? Like for a day or two? Is it possible for such a low dose and only once to cause any harm? I would appreciate any answer, although I know how painful it might be to you all. Thank you in advance.

Re: JimPet (# 167)

None of us are experts but all of us have affected grown adult kids who will never be adjusted or normal so to speak. I would hope your wife didn't get enough to cause harm. Most of us here were on the drug several weeks to a couple of months..I hope this helps. Oh fantastic idea to search this drug. Very wise!!

Re: JimPet (# 167)

I would under the advisement of a dr have her do a detox for heavy metals she didn’t get much but this will ensure she flushes the drug out, when I refused to take the drug with my younger two my dr told me to drink a glass of wine daily to relax my uterus. That worked. I went into labor constantly while on youtupar wine worked and no side effects to me or baby and I didn’t even like to drink but it worked and I had no complications hope that helps

I have done some research and found that terbutaline (and probably other b adrenergic agonists, like ritordine), increases the chance to harm the baby's neurological system when administered for over 2 weeks, from mid 2nd to 3rd semester... here are 2 articles:

[1] ajog.org/article/S0002-9378(09)00776-5

[2] hindawi.com/journals/cdr/2014/358608

The frustrating thing is that research is not what we think it is... sadly, you cant anymore be sure of any reassuring result... This is why:

Re: Mdijon (# 168)

Thank you. Since we lost our first newborn during 21st week, and since it happened from a bacteria which caused infection (chorioamnionitis) - very dangerous situation - and since I knew it might happen as I had read that, but trusted the first gynecologist (back then) that we had who said "don't worry about it", I have such remorse that I worry now for almost everything. And this thread here is life saving. And something must be done.... If you read my other post with the links, and read the last link about the science research industry that kills people, you will understand... Thank you all again.

I was given the drug in April 2000. I am in Canada the side effects at the time were awful for me, but they were nothing compared to what my son deals with daily now as well as everyone around him. My son is now 17 and he has all these issues mentioned above and some. He is also suicidal and spent last summer in the adolescent Psyc unit. There he was diagnosed with depression, conduct disorder, adhd, and anxiety. He also had several other issues the doctors never finished diagnosing as they had to let him out of the hospital due to bed space and acute suicidal patients.

I am in absolute shock finding this forum as I had not correlated the two things at all yet with my son and in utero exposure to Yutopar! Please for anyone reading this who may have information for me to get help for my son feel free to contact me!!! {edited for privacy}

Re: JimPet (# 180)

Hello Jim,
I was put on oral Yutopar and sent home under nursing care for 1 week, I had to take it twice a day and I can’t remember the exact dosage but I do remember it was the smallest dosage the oral pill came in, I was 34 weeks pregnant and went into labour and had my son at 35 weeks. He was very healthy when he was born and didn’t show many signs at the time of any issues, by the age of 2 I noticed he was different than most children his age but I still didn’t corilate there was major issues going on. He is almost 18 yrs old now and has sever problems with mental health and he also has a deformed spine which is very painful for him, I am not sure if that is related to the drug or not but his spine and joints ache all the time, he also has a very prominent sleep disorder and will not sleep for 72 hours at a time.

Re: Carla (# 179)

There's so many of us out here with no resolve and legal path on this drug maker. So sorry to hear your struggles. When I first read the comments here it was Aug of 2016. My daughter was born in '83, so I was like you and never correlated the 2, but I had a suspicion because her problems don't run in the family.
