  • Title: Drug risks in pregnancy revisited.
    Author: Guillozet N.
    Journal: J Fam Pract; 1977 Jun; 4(6):1043-52. PubMed ID: 69010.
    Abstract:
    In the important interface of assuring safe care for the pregnant mother and her developing child that falls to the family physician, current knowledge of drug risks in pregnancy is essential. A recent survey showed that an average of 4.5 drugs are taken throughout the pregnancy. Eighty percent are self-prescribed, and a positive correlation was shown between the incidence of congenital anomalies and drug intake. Numerous recent reports of previously unrecognized fetal complications of commonly prescribed and self-used drugs and heightened public awareness makes it imperative that family physicians know the risk principles of major drug groups and be able to recognize drug-induced symptoms and signs in the older infant as well as in the infant.
