Drugs in Pregnancy and Lactation 8/e: A Reference Guide to Fetal and Neonatal Risk

Thoroughly updated, with 127 new drug entries, the Eighth Edition of this popular reference
provides practical, reliable information on over 1,175 drugs commonly prescribed to pregnant or
lactating women. Each drug monograph summarizes potential side effects on the embryo and fetus and
drug passage to the nursing infant. FDA Risk Factor ratings for each drug are included. Drugs are
listed alphabetically and indexed by generic, domestic, and foreign trade names. Recommendations
for pregnancy and breastfeeding are listed at the top of each drug review to provide for quick
reference.

This edition places special emphasis on drug-induced developmental toxicity, taking dosage into
consideration wherever possible. Coverage includes more herbal medicines and nutritional
supplements used by women. Summary paragraphs have been added to most drug reviews. This edition
also has a full-color design.

A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and links to the Briggs Update newsletter.
