“The NHS was saying they didn’t have that information and there was insufficient research,” They (and other government bodies) say this about all sorts of medications that have limited support for any harm. If generally safe is the default, proof of harm has a higher bar to dethrone the existing raring. One thing I didn't see in the article was what the alternative meds were and their safety profiles. Guess what? Keppra is now the standard and touted as the safest during pregnancy and that breasrfeeding while on it is still recommended. It's also listed as having potential tetrogenic issues. So this type of issue is still strong today.
