Closed Public inquiry into the use of Debendox for pregnant women

Closed on

A public inquiry is needed to investigate the use of Debendox for pregnant women during the 1950s to early1980s. The inquiry should examine what testing was done on the combination of Dicyclomine and Doxylamine (without the Pyridoxine compound).

Families who may have been affected by this drug must finally have the opportunity to seek justice and possibly receive compensation for everything that they have been through and will continue to go through due to their disabilities.
