Abstract
Although amantadine hydrochloride has been extensively used for the prevention of influenza A2, few data exist regarding its safety in pregnancy. We report the outcome of a pregnancy during which the mother was treated with amantadine in the first trimester. The infant, born at 29 weeks gestation, has tetralogy of Fallot and tibial hemimelia. Follow-up of the four prospective cases known to date to the Motherisk Program in Toronto did not identify any abnormalities.
