Does nifedipine administered in pregnancy affect child development at 18 months?
Does nifedipine administered in pregnancy affect child development at 18 months?
Nifedipine use in pregnancy showed no developmental differences at 18 months; leaves open longer-term effects and need for confirmatory trials.
The safety of use of the calcium channel blocker nifedipine in pregnancy as it affects child development has not been well evaluated. We report the results, with regard to the safety for children of use of nifedipine in pregnancy, on children followed up at 18 months of age born from women recruited in a study comparing routine treatment with nifedipine compared with no treatment.
