Autism risk from epilepsy drug not explained to mother during pregnancy, court hears

A second case has been brought by Jack’s younger brother, Tom, who was born in 2013, and whose autism diagnosis is less severe. That case will proceed later as an assessment of damages only as liability has been admitted.

During her 14-year period as his patient, she was prescribed Epilim together with other drugs on occasion. She had her first child, Hanna, in 2007 and during the pregnancy expressed concern to Dr Murphy about the risk. However, as this was after the 28-day period, and therefore a past risk, he continued to prescribe Epilim.It is claimed the defendant did not discuss the risks associated with continuing to take it. Other than the risk of spina bifida, Dr Murphy did not discuss the possibility of neurodevelopmental impairments as a result of ingesting Epilim, it is alleged.

Jack was diagnosed with autism at the age of three and has various developmental delays and speech and language difficulties, counsel said.
