Drug prescribing for chronic medical disorders during pregnancy: an overview

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
W F Rayburn, J P Lavin

Abstract

Women of reproductive age with chronic medical disorders are often concerned about hazards from drug exposure during pregnancy. The avoidance of any medication after conception may be ideal but is often unwise for maternal well-being. Adverse fetal effects are often not clinically apparent. Current standards for prescribing these medications during pregnancy are discussed from a review of the recent literature.
