Popis: Fetal Disposition of Drugs looks at maternally administered medications and their effects on fetal well-being and development. Due to immature metabolism and potentially teratogenic consequences during organogenesis, fetal disposition of medications is critically important. The first trimester of pregnancy is especially important due to the organogenesis that takes place during this period; drugs given during this time are important. The chapter also looks at medications that are commonly given in the perinatal period and the effects they can have on fetal well-being. Placental characteristics and fetal physiology also play roles in the fetal disposition of drugs, and these are examined as well.
