Teratogenicity of Antiepileptic Drugs

Abstract: ObjectiveAntiepileptic drugs (AED) have chronic teratogenic effects, the most common of which are congenital heart disease, cleft lip/palate, urogenital and neural tube defects. The aim of our study is to examine teratogenic effects of AED and the correlation between these malformations and AED in single or multiple pregnancies.MethodsThis is a retrospective study of malformations in children born to mothers currently followed up by our outpatient clinics who used or discontinued AED during their pregnancy.

“…It is well documented that valproic acid (Depakote) increases the risk of neural tube defects, major and minor malformations, and neurodevelopment impairments in exposed fetuses and thus is not recommended for use by childbearing women. [9][10][11] Lithium has been implicated in an increased incidence of Ebstein's anomaly. 12 There are emerging data about the pregnancy-related effects of other treatments for bipolar disorder, including lamotrigine, carbamazepine (Tegretol), and atypical antipsychotics.…”

“…Güveli ve ark. [7] Literatür incelendiğinde, epilepsi tanılı gebelerin üçte birinde, gebelik sırasında nöbet sıklığında artma olduğu rapor edilmiştir. [9] Parsiyel epilepsisi olan veya çoklu AEİ tedavisi uygulanan hastalarda, gebelik sırasında nöbet geçirme riskinin oldukça yüksek olduğu bildirilmiştir.…”
