“…Additionally, this study did not report cases of treatment with 3,4-DAP during pregnancy. In the medical literature, only one case report documents a fetal exposure to 3,4-DAP, without any resulting defects in the infant [28]. Close attention must be paid to pregnant women and to women of childbearing age, and the risks must be carefully weighed against the benefits.…”

“…While direct therapeutic advantages of a calcium channel agonist for individuals with LEMS is expected based on the etiology of this disease, other neurological diseases affecting the neuromuscular junction may also benefit from a treatment with a selective calcium channel agonist. In particular, congenital myasthenia is a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders caused by mutations in any one of >10 genes that code for synaptic proteins, leading to impaired neuromuscular function 38–41 . In many of these cases, there are few treatment options, and a calcium channel agonist may provide symptomatic relief.…”

Aufgrund der sehr spärlichen Datenlage und der wenigen klinischen Erfahrung lassen sich zurzeit noch keine allgemeingültigen Aussagen oder Empfehlungen zu einer Fortführung der Therapie mit 3,4 Diaminopyridin während einer bestehenden Schwangerschaft treffen.…”
