Editorial Reviews"A must own."
"This is the 11th edition of a core drug reference in the field of maternal health and a worthwhile contribution to the discipline."
"The authors are credible authorities and the proof is the 11th edition."
"the book does what it intends to do -- provide an alphabetized list of drugs and their pregnancy and lactation interactions."
"covers drugs from A-Z that are used in pregnancy. Each drug has a concise summary followed by an in-depth discussion of the studies regarding that drug."
"opted for identifying drugs as low risk or high risk, which is much more clinically applicable."
"remains a core reference and the additions to the drug menu are nice"
?"Trying to critique this book is similar to evaluating a dictionary. It does what it purports to do."
