Link possible between contraceptive use and childhood eczema

 

New research shows that children whose mothers took the contraceptive pill are

more likely to suffer from eczema. Dr Joachim Heinrich, of

the Institute of Epidemiology in Nürberg, in Germany, says, " Our

study shows that children whose mothers took the Pill before

pregnancy are more likely to suffer from allergies, but so are

children whose mothers only started taking the Pill after they were

born. One possibility is that children whose mothers only started using

it after birth are exposed to the oral contraceptive through breast-

feeding. " (Commentwire Online 07/04/03) © HMG Worldwide 2003
