Based on the data from the Swedish Medical Birth Registry, which could not exclude that the use of loratadine during the first trimester of pregnancy may be associated with increased risk of hypospadia, Sweden considered that there was Community interest in reassessing the full benefit/ risk profile of loratadine and requested the CPMP to give an opinion on whether the applications and marketing authorisations for loratadine containing medicinal products should be granted, maintained, changed, suspended or withdrawn.
