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.
