10,000+ Women Took Sanofi's Anti-Epilepsy Drug Despite Risk to Fetuses
More than 10,000 pregnant women in France took Sanofi's anti-epilepsy drug Depakine between 2007 and 2014 although the risk of fetus malformation was known, according to a study quoted by French satirical weekly Le Canard Enchaine.
The weekly reported that the French health ministry had delayed publication of the study, which the ministry denied.
The ministry confirmed in a statement that a study was done by national drug agency ANSM and health insurance agency CNAMTS but added that it had not been hidden from families and that a first part of the study would be presented on August 24.
