Although no drug is safe during pregnancy, but many complications occur in various trimester of pregnancy, and medicines are prescribed under the supervision f registered medical practitioner.
I personally not heard about clinical trials performed with female volunteers. please let me know about the topic.
Thank you
Pregnant women are a group requiring special protection in research, as both their welfare and the welfare of their unborn child need to be taken into consideration.
Research may be undertaken so long as scientifically appropriate preclinical studies were performed in pregnant animals, and clinical studies were performed in non-pregnant women to provide data for assessing potential risks during pregnancy.
In addition, the proposed study must pose no greater than minimal risk to the foetus. In the event of greater than minimal risk, a pregnant woman may be included only if the study is likely to “hold out the prospect of direct benefit for the women or the foetus.”
