Maternal use of cough medications during early pregnancy and selected birth defects: a US multisite, case-control study
Conclusions
Maternal use of medications containing DM alone, GG alone or DM +GG showed positive associations with a small number of birth defects. These observations, which should be interpreted with caution due to small proportions of exposed mothers, may represent true signals or chance findings and warrant evaluation in future studies.
