Abstract
QUESTION: I have a patient planning pregnancy who has resistant rheumatoid arthritis that will require treatment with some of the "new" medications. Which ones are safe to use during pregnancy, and which ones do we know enough about to tell whether they are safe or not? ANSWER: For most new disease-modifying biologic medications, we have few data on safety. More and more reassuring data are accumulating on azathioprine and cyclosporine. When you treat this patient, you can help in gathering such data by contacting the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists' Autoimmune Disease in Pregnancy study through Motherisk at 877 311-8972.Entities:
