Does yangjiaofeng medicine have great influence on fetus

First, antiepileptic drugs act on brain nerve cells. The mechanism of action is to affect the function of intercellular neurotransmitters. This mechanism can control seizures in epileptic patients, which is unfavorable to healthy people. Some neurological symptoms can appear, such as headache, dizziness, low memory, etc. Antiepileptic drugs can enter the fetus through the placenta, and also affect the developing brain, causing developmental disorders of the brain itself or other organs. The exact mechanism is not fully clear.

Second: from the current understanding of the situation, all commonly used first-line antiepileptic drugs may cause fetal malformation. Almost all organs can have malformations, the central nervous system malformations are the most common, such as mental retardation, facial deformity, can also have neural tube malformations, such as spina bifida or cranial fissure. Other organs such as limbs and heart are often malformed. 　

Third: Although the rate of fetal malformation of epileptic mothers taking antiepileptic drugs during pregnancy is not high, only 4%, the highest report is 9%. If the mother gives birth to a deformed child, it is 100%, which is a huge blow to her. It will cast a shadow on the whole family, and even break up a happy family.
