Just as with prescription drugs, natural health products can present substantial risks and prompt the same areas of concern. Although some of these effects may be life-threatening, current literature on these important issues is scant. With the use of natural health products on the rise, physicians require quality evidence with which to make evidence-based decisions and provide answers to their patients. Herbal Medicines in Pregnancy and Lactation: An Evidence-based Approach focuses entirely on the therapeutics, safety and risk information of herbs and supplements used during pregnancy and lactation for obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, and primary care physicians. Organized like standard works on the safety profiles of drugs, this important text includes section categories such as: * benefit profile and traditional uses * pharmacology and toxicology * interactions * adverse events. A highly useful and practical book, each natural health product covered here has been researched using a systematic review method, enabling the busy physician to view quickly and easily the grade of evidence supporting the information provided.Koren, Gideon is the author of 'Herbal Medicines In Pregnancy & Lactation An Evidence-Based Approach', published 2006 under ISBN 9780415373920 and ISBN 0415373921.
