Here, from the authors of the comprehensive TERIS catalog and the widely praised The Effects of Drugs on the Fetus and Nursing Infant, is a concise guide for physicians and other health care practitioners to the potential teratogenic risks of the approximately 225 drugs that are prescribed for neurologic and psychiatric disorders.
An introductory chapter describes an approach to prescribing medications for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Each agent summary presents information from the published data and then rates the risk of teratogenic effects (none, likely, minimal, small, moderate, high, or undetermined.)
Praise for Friedman and Polifka's The Effects of Drugs on the Fetus and Nursing Infant: "For all practitioners in clinical teratology, maternal/fetal medicine, obstetrics, medical genetics, and toxicology that take this clinical problem seriously, Teratogenic Effects of Drugs should be on their shelf". -- American Journal of Human Genetics
"These careful and meticulous authors have created a topnotch teratogen reference book. It is inexpensive and convenient to transport and use and will be popular with physicians, clinical geneticists, and genetics counselors. I highly recommend this book". -- David D. Weaver, M.D., Indiana University Medical Center
