Medication use among pregnant women.

Abstract

Medication use among women aged 15 to 49 has risen over the last 10 years. Although the proportion of pregnant women who used medications increased, it remained below the figure for other women the same ages. Over one-quarter of women (27%) were taking prescription medications while pregnant.
