Abstract
Background
Sibutramine is a drug used for the medical treatment of obesity. No data are available on sibutramine use in pregnancy. We report the fetal outcomes of two pregnant women exposed to sibutramine.
Cases
The first woman was exposed to 10 mg/day of sibutramine during gestational weeks 4β6. The second woman was exposed to 10 mg/day of sibutramine during gestational weeks 5β8. At weeks 37 and 39, they delivered healthy infants.
CONCLUSIONS
To our knowledge, this is the first report of sibutramine exposure in pregnancy. These cases may contribute to the knowledge about sibutramine use during pregnancy. Birth Defects Research (Part A), 2004. Β© 2004 WileyβLiss, Inc.
