By Amy WigginsWomen who used a pregnancy testing drug believed to cause birth defects are starting to come forward. The Ministry of Health had been in contact with some people about the drug but was still working to determine if those people were women who used the drug, family members or concerned members of the public. On Monday Medsafe confirmed the drug had been used in New Zealand. The Herald reported that the two drugs had been prescribed in New Zealand and abroad for many years. Medsafe was unable to provide information on whether any women who had used the drug had yet come forward.
