Drug Management during Pregnancy

Drugs are commonly used to correct various anomalies during pregnancy. Drugs are often used to treat illnesses during pregnancy when the potential benefits outweigh the known hazards. The most frequently given drugs include antibiotics, analgesics, antihistamines, antiemetics, and tranquillizers. The growth and development of the foetus may be impacted by drug use later in pregnancy. Drugs that may have an impact on foetal development include angiotensin, antithyroid medications, benzodiazepines, blockers, and other medications. But in the UK, every single pregnant woman receives at least one course of medication treatment advice (no less than 33%).
