Thalidomide Capsules

Product Description

Thalidomide capsules are a drug that was widely used in the 1950s and 1960s as a treatment for nausea and morning sickness in pregnant women. The drug was withdrawn from the market in 1961 after it was found to cause birth defects in the babies of women who had taken the medication. The drug is still prescribed for certain medical conditions today, but it is only available through special programs due to the risks it poses.
