ethosuximide and Pregnancy

ethosuximide has been researched along with Pregnancy in 34 studies

Ethosuximide: An anticonvulsant especially useful in the treatment of absence seizures unaccompanied by other types of seizures.
ethosuximide : A dicarboximide that is pyrrolidine-2,5-dione in which the hydrogens at position 3 are substituted by one methyl and one ethyl group. An antiepileptic, it is used in the treatment of absence seizures and may be used for myoclonic seizures, but is ineffective against tonic-clonic seizures.

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

"A pregnant woman with epilepsy receiving VPA and ethosuximide (ESM) was given high-dose multivitamins from 13 to 28 weeks' gestation."3.70Valproate-induced biochemical abnormalities in pregnancy corrected by vitamins: a case report. ( Baggot, PJ; Kalamarides, JA; Shoemaker, JD, 1999)
" Maternal exposure to imipramine in a dose equivalent to the therapeutic dose per unit body weight induced hyperthermic response to chlorpromazine in the male offspring, while normal control rats showed a marked hypothermia."3.69Transgenerational effects of maternal exposure to chemicals on the functional development of the brain in the offspring.
