Drug Safety in Pregnancy
Introduction
Medications may be required for various indications during pregnancy. The most commonly used medications include antiemetics, antacids, antihistamines, analgesics, antimicrobials, diuretics, antidepressants, and tranquilizers. Substance use and misuse is also common. Despite this trend, firm evidence-based guidelines for safe use of medications during pregnancy are still lacking.
