Drugs in pregnancy and lactation

About this book

"Serving as the premier resource for clinicians treating new and expecting mothers, this innovative text provides practical and reliable information for more than 1,175 drugs commonly prescribed to pregnant or lactating women. Each drug monograph follows a consistent format summarizing potential side effects on the embryo and fetus and drug passage to the nursing infant. This allows healthcare professionals to consider the risk versus benefit before prescribing a drug and to estimate the risk when exposure has already occurred. This completely revised Eighth Edition contains more than 125 new drug entries and places special emphasis on drug induced developmental toxicity taking drug dosage into consideration wherever possible."--Jacket.
