New study tracks epidiolex use in pregnancy for baby safety
NCT ID NCT06113237
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study follows pregnant women who have taken Epidiolex (a cannabidiol medicine for seizures) to see if it affects pregnancy outcomes or the baby's health up to 12 months after birth. Researchers will track complications like birth defects, miscarriage, and preterm delivery. The goal is to better understand any risks, not to test a new treatment.
