Thalidomide is a sedative - hypnotic , and multiple myeloma medication . The drug is a potent teratogen in rabbits and primates including humans: this means that severe birth defects may result if the drug is taken during pregnancy. [ 2 ]
Thalidomide was thought to have been developed by German pharmaceutical company Grünenthal in Stolberg (Rhineland) near Aachen although this has recently been challenged by Dr Martin W Johnson, director of the Thalidomide Trust in the UK [ 3 ] . It is thought that thalidomide was developed by the Nazis as an antidote to nerve gas such as sarin.
