[Systemic drug treatment during pregnancy].

In clinical routine, treatment of pregnant women is a recurring challenge. The frequent opacity of current studies, lack of reliable sources of information and the general insecurity of pregnant women towards systemic drug treatment leads to difficult clinical decision making. Potent therapies with sufficient clinical experience in terms of safety of application are available for most diseases seen in pregnancy. After careful evaluation of potential benefits and risks of a therapy, not only the optimal choice of a medical treatment, but also adequate control of clinical symptoms and interdisciplinary care are crucial for a safe pregnancy.
