Question
Answer
About 2/3 of pregnant women   take at least one medication  
🗑
Medication Exposure in Pregnancy Risk Evaluation Program   2009, FDA's new program to increase healthcare professionals' knowledge of drug risks during pregnancy  
🗑
Pregnancy brings on the physiolgic changes in the   kidneys, liver and gastrointestinal tract(thus a compensatory change)  
🗑
During pregnancy, the tone and motility of the bowel   decreases (allowing more drugs to be absorbed)  
🗑
True of False: more time is available for reabsorption of drugs that undergo enterohepatic recirculation. Therefore the effects are prolonged   true  
🗑
Essentially all drugs can   cross the placenta  
🗑
The cliniciian should assume that   any drug taken will reach the fetus  
🗑
lipid soluble drugs cross the placenta readily, while drugs that are _______ have more difficulty   ionized, polar, protein bound  
🗑
teratogenesis   the development of birthdefects  
🗑
Gross malformations   produced by exposure to teratogens during embryonic period  
🗑
exposure during the fetal period usually   disrupts FUNCTION rater than gross anatomy  
🗑
It is important to note that lack of proof of teratogenicity   does not mean that a drug is safe  
🗑
in 1983, the FDA established a system for classifying drugs according to their probable risk categories:   ABCD and X (A is the least dangerous)  
🗑
The new proposed system under FDA will have three sections:   1.)Fetal risk summary, 2.) Clinical Considerations. 3.) Data  
🗑
Fetal Risk Summary   will describe what is known about a drugs' effects on the fetus and will offer a conclusion on safety during pregancy  
🗑
Clinical Considerations   describe the likely effects if a drug is taken before a woman knows that she is pregnant.  
🗑
Data   will detail the evidence from human and animal studies that supports the information in the fetal risk summary  
🗑
Any woman of reproductive age who takes a known teratogen must be   counseled about the risk and necessity of using at least one form of birth control  
🗑
Drugs that are lipid soluble readily   enter breast milk  
🗑
Drugs that do not enter breast milk are   ionized, polar, and protein bound  
🗑
Although most drugs can de detected in milk   concentrations are usually too low to harm the nursing  
🗑
Steps 1-3 taken to minimize the risk to the infant   1.) dosing immediately AFTER feeding 2.) avoiding drugs that have a long half life 3.) avoiding sustained release formulations  
🗑
Steps 4-7 taken to minimize the risk to infant   4.) choosing drugs that tend to be excluded from milk 5.) choosing drugs that are least likely to effect infant 6.) avoiding hazardous 7.) using lowest EDfor shortest time  
🗑
