“…Because of the limited data, physicians are often deprived of relevant and sufficient information regarding the prescription of medicines during pregnancy. However, studies carried out in France [1][2][3][4][5][6] reveal an elevated number of drugs (6 to 16 different drugs prescribed per woman according to the studies) during pregnancy.

For studies used similar methodology, the results were quite similar to ours.…”
