When medicines cause harm: learning from the DES disaster

Episode 189

Tuesday, September 29, 2026 • Duration 35:25

The DTB podcast returns with a new format, and a new host: Dr. Hannah Harris, urgent care GP and now Clinical Editor of DTB. In this episode, Hannah is joined by Professor Barbara Mintzes and Carol Devine, a patient and second-generation victim of Diethylstilbestrol (DES), to examine the long-term, multigenerational impacts of this synthetic oestrogen prescribed in pregnancy to prevent miscarriage from the 1940s to 1980s. They discuss why DES continued to be prescribed despite early proof of inefficacy and harm, Carol’s personal health struggle as a "DES Daughter," and the ongoing fight for government recognition and patient care. This episode also highlights key clinical updates from the September issue of the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, including a commentary by the new Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Gordon Mallarkey, on precision medicine in COPD, non-hormonal treatments for polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, diagnosis of spasticity, and continuous glucose monitoring in type 2 diabetes.
