Uso de medicamentos na gestação: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

Abstract: This article examines the use of drugs in pregnancy and its possible harmful effects. The use of drugs in pregnancy has drawn attention of specialists and the Ministry of Health, for studies involving this issue have failed to demonstrate that the placenta does not act as a protective barrier and thus the fetus can absorb substances ingested by the mother. In the case of drugs, which can cause irreversible consequences to the fetus is necessary to deepen the discussions so that you can avoid using them when there is need. More studies on the possible harm that drug use during pregnancy can cause are required. Since much of the information that you have on the subject, was obtained from studies with animals and can not be accepted with one hundred percent reliability when it comes to humans, since drugs can behave so different from one organism to another.
