På grundlag af oplysninger fra Medicinska födelseregistret, som ikke kunne udelukke, at brug af loratadin i første trimester kan være forbundet med øget risiko for hypospadi, fandt Sverige, at det ville være i Fællesskabets interesse at revurdere hele benefit/ risk - forholdet for loratadin, og anmodede CPMP om at afgive en udtalelse om, hvorvidt ansøgninger og markedsføringstilladelser for lægemidler indeholdende loratadin skulle udstedes, opretholdes, ændres, suspenderes eller inddrages.
Based on the data from the Swedish Medical Birth Registry, which could not exclude that the use of loratadine during the first trimester of pregnancy may be associated with increased risk of hypospadia, Sweden considered that there was Community interest in reassessing the full benefit/ risk profile of loratadine and requested the CPMP to give an opinion on whether the applications and marketing authorisations for loratadine containing medicinal products should be granted, maintained, changed, suspended or withdrawn.
