Action over sodium valproate epilepsy drug 'could rival thalidomide' — by Murdo Maguire — last modified 25-11-2006 06:02: Around 140 families who claim that their children were damaged by an epilepsy drug taken in pregnancy have begun a court action that they say could be "as big as thalidomide". They say that 37,500 British children have "foetal anti-convulsant syndrome", a range of neural, behavioural and physical disorders, which they claim may have been caused by their mothers taking anti-convulsant drugs while pregnant. Disorders include cleft palate and spina bifida, learning difficulties, behavioural problems and abnormalities in movement, speech, vision and hearing.
