Customer Reviews

Great Book

Easy to use and navigate, great summary sections for each drug with respect to pregnancy risk and breastfeeding, and all important info is color-coded and at the beginning of each monograph for quick reference if you're short on time. As a pharmacist, I reference this text a lot now and love it.

Helpful & cheap

This text allows you to make recommendations for pregnant or breast-feeding women by looking at drugs within each drug category & picking the ones from the list with the least amount of risk. Other resources won't let u compare this compare just this one criteria of each drug class so easily & quickly.

Great resource

I am a CNM and refer to this book often. It is well organized, easy to use and condenses the current research in a clear and succinct manner.

Drugs in Pregnancy reference

Big, bountiful, beautiful book. Heavy, hard to get around, huge for transport reference guide. Quite expensive and not very portable... palm pilot version would be nice or quick, pocket reference....

my single most valuable reference book

I do locum tenens (temporary) doctoring and when I go on an assignment this is the first book to go in my suitcase. I take it to the office with me in the morning and take it home at night in case I get a question that I need it for. It is clear, concise, comprehensive and as authoritative as any text can be. If you care for or prescribe meds to pregnant or lactating women, this is a "must have".
