Summary

Revised and updated by leading specialists in maternal-fetal medicine, the Third Edition of this well-known reference is a practical guide to the drug treatment of common diseases and disorders during pregnancy. Unlike other books on drugs and pregnancy, this volume focuses on how best to treat a particular condition, and is easy to consult when a patient is in the office or on the telephone. Each chapter presents a clinical situation and discusses the disease process, the most commonly used medications, the agents known to be teratogenic, and the most appropriate drugs for pregnant patients.
