Pregnancy is a natural and physiological phenomenon, in which 20% of cases can evolve to an unfavorable outcome, which can occur for both the woman and her baby. The absence of pregnancy is common with the use of medication. This practice still represents a challenge for the medicine, since many drugs cross the placental barrier and can cause harm to the fetus. Despite the risks of exposure, largely related to self-medication and lack of pharmacotherapeutic follow-up at this stage, drug...
