Are There Special Considerations for Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women?

Yes, pregnant or breastfeeding women require special consideration when prescribing medications. Many drugs can cross the placenta or be excreted in breast milk, potentially affecting the fetus or infant. For example, certain antibiotics, like tetracyclines, should be avoided during pregnancy. Always consult reliable sources or specialists when prescribing for this population.
