Abstract

To evaluate drug utilization during the last 15 days of pregnancy, one hundred six women were interviewed post-delivery in the CHU Bretonneau in Tours. Eighty-three percent received at least one drug during the 15 days preceding delivery and 27% more than 3 different drugs. Treatments for venous disorders (31% of patients), iron (31%), analgesics (25%), antacids (11%), magnesium (11%) and laxatives (11%) were most frequently used. In 92% of cases the drug was prescribed. Five women received a drug with potential risk for the neonate. However only one infant developed and adverse effect, possibly due to benzodiazepine (hypotonia).
