Closed Public inquiry into the use of Debendox for pregnant women

Closed on

The Government should launch a public inquiry into the use of Debendox for pregnant women during the 1950s to early 1980s. This should investigate what, if any, testing was done on the combination of the active ingredients (Dicyclomine and Doxylamine).

Many families who have been affected by this drug should finally have justice, and possibly compensation depending on the findings of the inquiry, for all of the pain and suffering that they have been through and will continue to go through due to their disabilities.
