astemizole has been researched along with Pregnancy in 9 studies

Astemizole: Antihistamine drug now withdrawn from the market in many countries because of rare but potentially fatal side effects.
astemizole : A piperidine compound having a 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl group at the 1-position and an N-[(4-fluorobenzyl)benzimidazol-2-yl]amino group at the 4-position.

Pregnancy: The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Astemizole (ATZ), a non-sedative antihistamine, which antagonize histamine at the level of H1 receptor, was administered daily to female Wistar rats as a 10-mg/kg dose throughout pregnancy."3.69Perinatal astemizole exposure in the rat throughout gestation: long-term behavioral and anatomic effects associated with reproduction. ( Almeida, RG; Bernardi, MM; Massoco, CO; Spinosa, HS, 1996)
" Instead, single dosing on specific days is proposed to be a better way to characterize the teratogenic potential of Ikr blocking drugs."2.44Embryonic cardiac arrhythmia and generation of reactive oxygen species: common teratogenic mechanism for IKr blocking drugs. ( Danielsson, BR; Danielsson, C; Nilsson, MF, 2007)
" However, this activity may be missed in conventional teratology studies because repeat dosing may cause resorptions."1.36Improved methodology for identifying the teratogenic potential in early drug development of hERG channel blocking drugs. ( Bengtsson, E; Blomgren, B; Danielsson, BR; Danielsson, C; Johansson, A; Khan, KM; Kultima, K; Nilsson, MF; Sköld, AC; Webster, WS; Wilson, J, 2010)
