Fetal Exposure to Common Epilepsy Drugs May Harm Kids' IQ: FDA
Date:6/30/2011

dications.

The findings, published in Epilepsia, echoed earlier research that linked prenatal exposure to epilepsy drugs, particularly valproic acid medications (such as Depakene and Depakote), to negative effects on a child's ability to process information, solve problems and make decisions.

"Our results suggest that exposure to several anti-epileptic drugs in utero may have a negative effect on a child's neurodevelopment," study author Dr. Lisa Forsberg of Karolinska University Hospital told HealthDay at the time.

Forsberg recommended that women with epilepsy plan their pregnancies. "That way, they and their doctors can come up with individual treatment plans that make the pregnancy safe for both mother and child," she said.
