Prescribing medications safely during pregnancy

The Medical Clinics of North America
William F Rayburn, Adanna C Amanze

Abstract

A large body of information about medications prescribed during pregnancy is readily available to internists and patients either on-line or through books and medical journals. Much of the evidence about many prescribed drugs is either anecdotal or presented with sufficient warnings about its use during pregnancy. This article discusses specific medications to set the risks and benefits into a more proper perspective, thereby alleviating certain fears and, when necessary, improving compliance.
