19. LETTER TO THE EDITOR THALIDOMIDE AND CONGENITAL ABNORMALITIES Sir, Congenital disorders are present in approximately 1.5% of babies. In recent months I have observed that the incidence of multiple severe abnormalities in babies delivered of women who were given the drug thalidomide ('Distaval') during pregnancy,as an anti-emetic or as a sedative, to be almost 20%. Have any of your readers seen similar abnormalities in babies delivered of women who have taken this drug during pregnancy? McBride WG. The Lancet, December 16, 1961: page 1358
