As the medicine experts, pharmacists are often asked about the suitability of medications in pregnancy and breastfeeding from patients, carers and other healthcare providers. This is a crucial professional service pharmacists provide to the community, however often times the information available may not be clear or hard to find. With many women requiring pharmacological therapy at some stage during pregnancy and breastfeeding, pharmacists need to provide accurate evidence-based advice to support these patients.
This session aims to upskill pharmacists on this important clinical topic and help them become more confident to support their patients who require medications during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
