In this definitive new text, the major medicines, devices and
vaccines used by women worldwide are brought together for the first
time in a single volume. Written and edited by international
experts with an evidence-based approach, the book offers a
comprehensive summary of all the key areas of women’s medicines.
In the first part, issues relating to female drug exposure and
considerations for prescribing for subgroups of women - for example
during pregnancy and lactation - are presented in the context of
contemporary clinical practice. In the second part, specific
groups of pharmaceutical products are reviewed, including oral
contraceptives, emergency contraception, treatment of chronic
pelvic pain, hormone replacement therapy, bisphosphonates, herbal
medicines for women, contraceptive devices and human papilloma
virus (HPV) vaccines. Every chapter reviews and summarises
the efficacy and safety of each group of products and concludes
with a useful set of clinical take home messages. In the
third part, broader perspectives are presented - from a primary
care overview of prescribing for women, through to regulatory,
political and religious aspects, including issues with women’s
medicines in developing countries. The final two chapters
focus on risk communication and conclude that women themselves
should be placed at the centre of all discussions about their
medicines. The book is aimed at prescribers, other healthcare
professionals and students in the field of women’s health
throughout the world. It is an extremely valuable resource
for all in clinical practice, for students of medicine, nursing,
pharmacy and related sciences, and also for those in medicines
regulation, pharmacovigilance and the pharmaceutical industry.
