Risks and benefits of psychotropic medication in pregnancy: cohort studies based on UK electronic primary care health records.

摘要

BACKGROUNDAlthough many women treated with psychotropic medication become pregnant, no psychotropic medication has been licensed for use in pregnancy. This leaves women and their health-care professionals in a treatment dilemma, as they need to balance the health of the woman with that of the unborn child. The aim of this project was to investigate the risks and benefits of psychotropic medication in women treated for psychosis who become pregnant.
