Drugs for Pregnant and Lactating Women

"Drugs for Pregnant and Lactating Women, 2nd Edition", by Carl P. Weiner, MD, MBA, FACOG, and Catalin Buhimschi, MD, is a must-have reference that details how virtually all of today's drugs and herbal supplements interact with pregnancy and lactation. Updated thoroughly and covering nearly 2,000 substances, the new edition explains whether each drug is FDA-approved for use by expecting or nursing mothers or is known to be safe for use or is known to pose a danger. An alphabetical organization by both trade and generic name, a special index listing drugs by category, and an easy-to-read page format make this reference more efficient. As an Expert Consult title, it now includes fully searchable convenient online access to the complete contents of the book. "The information contained in this book has never before appeared in one place. Without it, one struggles to find information in the voluminous small print of the Physician's Desk Reference, in textbooks, or in a complex MEDLINE search...For the authors, Drugs for Pregnant and Lactating Women must have been a labor of extraordinary devotion. We will be thanking them for a long time.? - Fertility and Sterility, review of the last edition.
