A Handbook for Pharmacists and Physicians

Radhwan Nidal Al-Zidan
Department of Pharmaceutics, College of Pharmacy, Mosul University,
Mosul, Iraq

This first-of-its-kind handbook offers crucial information on the safety

of drugs taken during pregnancy. It covers an exhaustive list of
common and less common drugs and provides for each drug the FDA
letter categorization and newly approved “Pregnancy and Lactation
Labeling Rule (PLLR)” systems for rating drug risks in pregnancy,
imposed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

In response to the PLLR, many experts around the globe pointed out
that the abrupt switch from the widely used FDA letter categorization
system to the new labeling regulations could negatively impact the
decisions of healthcare providers regarding the prescription of drugs to
pregnant women. Therefore, it is essential to provide healthcare
providers with a credible source of information that connects the old-
fashioned FDA letter classification and the new requirements of the
PLLR rule. This volume is that reliable source. CONTENTS
