A Viagra in pregnancy trial has been urgently stopped after 11 newborn babies died.
Women taking part in the Dutch study had been given the anti-impotence tablets to improve growth of their unborn children because they had poorly developed placentas.
It appears the drug, which promotes blood flow, may have caused lethal damage to the babies' lungs.
Experts say a full investigation is needed to understand what happened.
There is no suggestion that there was any wrong-doing.
