About this listen

 An extensive reference guide focusing on the safe use of various drugs during pregnancy and lactation, specifically tailored for healthcare providers. For each medication, the text details aspects such as Drug Class, Indications, Mechanism, and Dosage, often including international brand names. Crucially, it provides Fetal Considerations and Breastfeeding Safety information, frequently noting the lack of adequate human studies and referencing animal data or observational cohorts, as seen with acetaminophen and its potential link to developmental issues. Furthermore, the text consistently assigns a Summary Pregnancy Category (e.g., C, D, X) and Lactation Category and outlines Drug Interactions for many agents.
