There are two strong arguments supporting an integrated curriculum. First, there is simply too much information to be covered in the traditional structure of a forty or fifty minute class period. Secondly, most subjects are taught to students in isolation from other related information.
Because women taking carbamazepine have a higher risk of having a baby with a neural tube defect, healthcare providers recommended that all women taking carbamazepine take a total of 4-5mg of folic acid before and. during pregnancy. This may help reduce the risk of birth defects in pregnancies exposed to carbamazepine.
Studies looking at women who have taken carbamazepine during the first trimester of pregnancy have found a. 1% risk of neural tube defects (an opening in the babyâs spine or brain), which occur early in pregnancy. The most. common neural tube defect is spina bifida.
