My mother recently told me that she was put on a Yutopar drip when she was pregnant with me to delay premature labor in 1983. I am now 24 years old and suffering with weight problems. I have been overweight since I was 9 years old and it didn't make any sense. I ate like a normal child and was just as active as a normal child, I was even in dance classes for 3 years and dieted off and on my whole life. My mother later remembered being told that the drug Yutopar could have side effects children (when she was working as a nurse). A doctor told her that one of the possible side effects was obesity in the child. To stray from the subject of weight issues, as a child I had a lot of trouble with understanding things at school and was constantly depressed. At 12 years old I was diagnosed as Bipolar. At age 16 I was diagnosed with Social anxiety disorder and thought a lot about suicide. At 20, I was diagnosed with panic disorder (High anxiety). I have been on various medications since I was 12. And now at 24 years old I have discovered that I may have some liver problems. I have lived my entire life feeling like I was abnormal. I have an older sister and younger brother who were not exposed to Yutopar and are completely healthy mentally and physically. I feel like I was born defective. In 1983 when this drug was used it had not been properly tested nor approved by the FDA before being given to women with signs of premature labor. I have tried doing research on the drug and have read in a few articles that the drug was taken off the market after it was approved in 1989. I'm trying to figure out if this drug might be the cause of so much emotional pain throughout my life. Judging by the side effects on the mothers who were given the drug, I can only assume that the side effects would be passed on to the child. Does anyone have any information that I may not have obtained?

Hi,
I was on intravenus yutopa to stop labour at 31/32 weeks, in 1995. I had severe adverse reactions at the time my heart beat was racing,I began to have what appeared to be a fit, my eyes rolled to the back of my head and my whole body shook. The midwife immediately took yhe drip from my arm and told my husband that I could have had a cardiac arrest. I recovered and labour was posponed.

My daughter however was born blind with retardation of the milination of the nerves between eye and brain. At 11/12 weeks she started to see. We were told that it was unlikly to be the Yutopa.
Now 10 my daughter is dyslexic, has some social difficalties and we have been advised to have her refered for other problems of an autistic nature.

In 1997 I had another daughter. During labour I was given Salbutamol (apparently same as Yutopa) at 30/31 weeks to delay labour. Again I had same reaction. This daughter was also born blind. Is also dyslexic but as yet appears to have no further problems.
Any thoughts?
