Tot Drugs Test Fears
Posted on: Thursday, 2 February 2006, 06:00 CST
NINE out of 10 medicines used to treat newborn babies have not been properly tested, a report warned yesterday.
A House of Lords committee said most were just lower doses of medicines tested on adults.
Chairman Baroness Thomas of Walliswood called for tests, saying: "This will be a concern for all parents."
Peers said 50 per cent of all medicines given to children of all ages are similarly untested.
The European Commission is trying to set up EUwide testing procedures.
