Neonatal Formulary: Drug Use in Pregnancy and the First Year of Life

Another trusted resource for your mobile & desktop platforms

Edmund Hey (Blackwell Publishing)

Summarizes how the prescribing of each drug has to adapt to changes in drug elimination during the first year of life.

This continuously updated formulary draws on the experience of an increasingly international group of neonatologists and is now a well established resource on prescribing in infancy. It covers all the drugs commonly used in the perinatal period, including those used for fetal treatment, and summarizes how the prescribing of each has to adapt to changes in drug elimination during the first year of life.

With 229 monographs supported by key references, and shorter entries on a further 141 drugs or drug groups commonly prescribed during pregnancy and lactation, this resource has become a standard reference for all neonatologists, neonatal nurses, obstetricians, pediatricians, midwives and pharmacists.
