Now fully reviewed and updated from cover to cover, Briggs Drugs in Pregnancy and Lactation: A Reference Guide to Fetal and Neonatal Risk, 13th Edition, is an essential resource for ob/gyn physicians, primary care physicians, and other health care providers. Meticulously edited by Drs. Craig V. Towers, Alicia B. Forinash, and Carrie A. Brusseau, this highly regarded reference lists more than 1,600 of the most commonly prescribed drugs taken during pregnancy and lactation in a quick-reference, A-to-Z format. Detailed monographs provide the most essential information on possible effects on the mother, embryo, fetus, and nursing infant. A conscious effort has been made to reduce the overall size, so this edition uses a new format that provides a comprehensive summary for each drug.
