As an example we presented the finding that maternal use of loratadine in early pregnancy was associated with a roughly doubled risk for infant hypospadias. We concluded: “The finding can still be random, but causality cannot be dismissed, even though the mechanism of action is not understood[r]

Because of our reliance on dispensing information in the record linkage study, we do not know whether the women in the study actually took the drugs.
