HC Deb 29 July 1963 vol 682 cc10-1W
Mr. Edelman

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that a proprietary drug based on cyclizine hydrochloride is being marketed without prescription as a remedy for travel sickness; and, in view of the fact that this drug is capable of producing teratogenic side effects among pregnant patients, what action he is taking to make the drug available only on prescription.

Mr. Powell

Yes; it is under consideration by the Poisons Board.
