New Tool: Pregnancy and Lactation
In the context of the 10th anniversary celebration, Ergobyte announces the launch of a new decision support tool for medication use during pregnancy and lactation.
Drug administration during pregnancy or breastfeeding may cause congenital anatomic malformations or affect the intellectual, social, and functional development of a child. Nevertheless, in cases where medication use is inevitable, the physician needs all available data to make an informed decision, always taking into account the risk:benefit ratio. Galen Medicines new tool supports the decision making process by providing scientific clinical knowledge and related documentation regarding drug transfer across the placenta or into the breast milk for every medicament or active substance.
As we look to the past achievements and the challenges ahead, we want to pay tribute to everyone who has contributed to the development of Galen Medicines so far. This occasion not only affords us with an opportunity to proudly reflect on what Galen Medicines has accomplished, but also envision and build the strategies that will continue to drive its success.
