A valuable resource for risks to benefits of anti-epileptic drugs in pregnancy
The Australian Pregnancy Register (APR) is an independent, observational register, collecting information about pregnant women with epilepsy, treated and untreated, to assist in determining which anti-epileptic medications (AEDs) are safest for the baby while protecting the mother from seizures.
This is a voluntary, nationwide study that is enrolling women who are currently pregnant or who have given birth recently (infants up to 12 months of age) in: Women with epilepsy taking AEDs, Women with epilepsy not taking AEDs, and Women taking AEDs for allied conditions.
Participating in this study involves up to six simple phone interviews.
Do not stop medications without first consulting your doctor as this may result in uncontrolled seizures with potentially serious consequences for both the mother and the unborn baby.
Your donation will support the costs associated with enrolling women in this study and subsequent data entry required to build and maintain this register.
We are a registered charity [ABN 38 128 669 797].
All donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Thank you for your support.
