Sad To See

Sad to see this drug has made its way back to the market. It was previously marketed as Bendectin, Debendox, Lenotan. My mam took it while pregnant with me in the 70's I was born with my right hand missing. No drug is safe during pregnancy. I hope history doesn't repeat itself.

Hi vicki,

Sorry to hear about what happened with one of your hands. In my honest opinion, I agree that most prescription drugs should be strictly abstained by pregnant women, unless the mother's benefits of using the medication clearly outweighs any possible risk to the fetus. Which, under such circumstances, one might wonder if this would only entail an otherwise life-threatening or unbearable condition that these types of medications are used to treat or make more tolerable.

However, in the end people are still going to make some irrational decisions from time to time; especially when one's hormones are fluctuating. So here's to hoping that more patients do take the time to educate themselves and become aware of the types of risks involved during pregnancy.
