Medicines during pregnancy and lactation

Safe therapy and consultation

The risks associated with prescribing and dispensing medications in relation to unborn and infant patients are well known. However, it is not the general avoidance of medications that is crucial, but rather a solid understanding of safety and targeted recommendations that are essential for expert care. This special responsibility makes a reliable source of information indispensable.

This standard work now in its ninth edition provides all doctors and pharmacists who wish to competently support pregnant and breastfeeding patients, as well as midwives, with the necessary expertise:

• Information on embryonic development and developmental disorders
• Over 1000 drugs with all important medications, individually assessed
• Categorization according to FDA and ADEC
• Differentiated risk assessment based on current literature
• Personal recommendations from an experienced and renowned author team from gynecology, pediatrics, and clinical pharmacology.

The reader is thus equipped for safe therapy decisions and consultations. The new edition includes many re-evaluations based on current study findings.
