Abstract

It is crucial for the health of both the mother and the fetus that drugs are only used during pregnancy when absolutely necessary. While appropriate drugs can be used for appropriate indications during pregnancy, it is preferably recommended not to use medication except for the necessary vitamins. In cases where the drug is to be used, the pregnancy category of the medication to be used should be known for the selection of the appropriate medication. Drugs that we regularly prescribe because they are safe should be high on our list of preferences, and if there is chronic drug use, the use of drugs must be regulated with caution and constantly reviewed for appropriateness.

Birinci Basamakta Gebeye İlaç Reçeteleme

Abstract

Gebelik döneminde sadece gerekli durumlarda ilaç kullanılması hem anne hem de bebek sağlığı açısından çok önemlidir. Gebelik döneminde uygun endikasyonda uygun ilaçlar kullanılabileceği gibi tercihen gerekli olan vitaminlerin kullanımı dışını çıkılmayarak ilaç kullanılmaması önerilmektedir. İlaç kullanılacağı durumlarda ise uygun ilacın seçimi için kullanılacak ilacın gebelik kategorisi bilinmelidir. Güvenilir olması nedeniyle sıklıkla deneyimlediğimiz ilaçlar tercih sıralamamızda üstte yer almalıdır ve kronik ilaç kullanımı varsa dikkatli davranarak ilaçların kullanılmasının düzenlenmesi ve uygunluğunun sürekli gözden geçirilmesi gerekmektedir.
