- A Handbook for Health Care Providers

Bag om Exposure to Psychotropic Medications and Other Substances During Pregnancy and Lactation

A great deal of misinformation exists about women's use of substances during pregnancy and lactation. A health care provider's challenge is to know the true risks and bene ts, both to the mother and to her fetus or baby, of taking versus stopping the use of a medication or other substance. Yet the average provider is not well equipped to give the best advice to women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and exposed to psychotropics. -"Is it ever safe to drink alcohol when breastfeeding?" -"What are the risks to the baby if the mother uses cannabis while pregnant or breastfeeding?" -"Are the effects of smoking different during pregnancy versus during breastfeeding?" -"Can a woman safely breastfeed her baby when taking codeine?" Exposure to Psychotropic Medications and Other Substances during Pregnancy and Lactation: A Handbook for Health Care Providers is a convenient source of evidence-based information and recommendations on these and many other questions for primary care physicians, psychiatrists, pharmacists, obstetricians, midwives, public health nurses and nurse practitioners. The handbook: -details the properties and effects of many psychotropic medications and other substances, and provides recommendations for how to advise women using these substances -dispels common myths about drug exposure during pregnancy and lactation -discusses key principles for clinical approaches to working with pregnant or breastfeeding women who use psychotropic medications or other substances -covers screening best practices and provides screening tools -explores the critical therapeutic role that all health professionals can play in helping women move toward better health outcomes for themselves and their babies.
