Abstract
The effects of drugs on the course of pregnancy remain little studied and the opinions about the safety of their use are ambiguous. To study drug safety during pregnancy is presently considered to be a priority of pharmacoviligance in the USA and European Union. In Russia, health care facilities and pharmaceutical companies may enter reports on the negative effect of drugs on the course and outcome of pregnancy just into the pharmacoviligance database at the Roszdravnadzor website and physicians may send them to the regional or federal drug safety monitoring center. Along with pregnancy drug safety testing during the physicians’ level of knowledge in this area should be increased.
