ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Twenty epileptic women were treated with valproate only during pregnancy and two were treated with valproate and carbamazepine."3.70Neonatal hypoglycaemia and withdrawal symptoms after exposure in utero to valproate. ( Ebbesen, F; Holsteen, V; Hoseth, E; Joergensen, A; Kaad, PH; Moeller, M; Rix, M, 2000)
" However, women must balance the benefit of treatment against all possible adverse effects."1.62Active Surveillance of the Safety of Medications Used During Pregnancy. ( Bateman, BT; Hernández-Díaz, S; Huybrechts, KF; Kulldorff, M; Mogun, H; Wang, SV; Zhu, Y, 2021)
" The frequency of withdrawal symptoms was significantly related to the dose of valproate given to the mothers in the third trimester, and there was a tendency for both the frequency of the minor abnormalities and the major malformations to be related to the valproate dosage in the first trimester."1.29Malformations, withdrawal manifestations, and hypoglycaemia after exposure to valproate in utero. ( Ebbesen, F; Thisted, E, 1993)
