We've had several posts asking about it, recently and I finally found some details on it:

It was commonly prescribed to treat morning sickness. Though there were claims of it causing birth defects, the FDA never found a definitive connection.

Has anyone else taken this?

I took benedectin for morning sickness in 1970 and just started to investigate all these years later to see if it is why my daughter developed type one diabetes at age 7. Looking for others that may have developed autoimmune disease.

My daughter born in 1975 was born with numerous congenital abnormalities....she belongs to no named syndrome. I feel extremely guilty that this was due to my taking Debendox for morning sickness.
