Based on the highly successful seven German editions of this reference, the up-to-date drug listings have been revised into a handy pocket guide color tabbed for quick access to important information. Easy to reference each drug is listed discussing the side effects, general impact on organ systems, potential toxicity, and risks before offering dosage recommendations. It is the only book of its kind to provide conclusive information on treatments for diseases during pregnancy and lactation and actions to be taken after (inadvertant) exposure to drugs suspected to be developmentaly toxic. Unlike other dosage guides, this edition is an affordable, compact compendium of knowledge on the very latest drugs and their effects on pregnant/lactating women.
- Provides conclusive information on the prevention of birth defects through the safe use of drugs before pregnancy, as well as during pregnancy and lactation
- Essential new information on herbs, vitamins, and nutrition supplements used during pregnancy
- Structured according to indication group, rather than alphabetically, providing a more user-friendly guide that makes it easier to compare drugs
- Includes a conveniently removable 'quick reference' card of most frequently used drugs and their safety
Obstetricians and Gynecologists; Breast feeding specialists, Nursing practitioners, Midwives
