“The information contained in this book has never before appeared in one place. Without it, one struggles to find information in the voluminous small print of the Physician's Desk Reference, in textbooks, or in a complex MEDLINE search...For the authors, Drugs for Pregnant and Lactating Women must have been a labor of extraordinary devotion. We will be thanking them for a long time.” — Fertility and Sterility, review of the last edition.
