SUPER=04-American Medical Assoc.; :
Phenobarbital use during pregnancy has declined-- it was once used to
treat hypertension, vomiting, nervousness, and insomnia.
It's still an option for treating premature delivery.
A study in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association finds
these babies may have a harder time in school and in life due to the loss of
seven to twelve IQ points.
The children are NOT mentally retarded, but the lower IQ does affect
quality of life.
Between 1950 and the late 1970's. more than 22 million children were born
in the U.S. to women taking PRESCRIBED barbiturates during pregnancy.
