Everyone involved in obstetric practice at the present time will be
well aware oft he complexities of drug interactions in the mother
and fetus, and newborn infant. Perhaps the most spectacular
manifestations of these drug interactions are those that result in
teratogenic effects, but the implications of drug therapy generally
in pregnancy range far wider than the hazards of inducing fetal
malformation. It must also be realised that there are hazards in
withholding some therapeutic agents from pregnant women, and these
hazards have to be weighed against the dangers of indiscriminate
drug therapy. It is often very difficult to obtain relevant
information about any given compound in relation to its use in
pregnancy, and it is therefore appropriate to provide a handbook
which brings together information about a wide variety of drugs in
a form which allows ready access for the practising clinician.
Rodney Ledward first discussed this project with me some years ago,
and it seemed to me at the time that with his background as both a
pharmaceutical chemist and an obstetrician that his talents were
particularly well suited to this task. In conjunction with
Professor Hawkins, he has produced a concise reference book for use
in clinical practice, which I feel confident will prove to be
invaluable to all those practising obstetrics at all levels of
seniority. The book covers the use of drugs during pregnancy, but
it also includes sections on the transfer of drugs into breast
milk.
