The
AED Pregnancy Registry is dedicated
to determine the safety of anticonvulsant medications that can be
taken by women during pregnancy to treat mood disorders and other
disorders such as epilepsy, migraine and chronic pain.The
primary goal is to determine the frequency of major malformations,
such as heart defects, spina bifida and cleft lip, in the infants
exposed during pregnancy to anticonvulsant drugs.
Who is eligible? Any woman who is currently pregnant
and is taking AEDs (antiepileptic drugs) for any reason can enroll
in the Registry. A woman enrolls herself by calling us toll-free at
1-888-233-2334. Participation involves only 3 brief telephone interviews.
The first interview is at the time of enrollment, the second takes
place in the 7th month of pregnancy, and the third is conducted a
few months after delivery. To learn more, please click on the links
