Summary "Every midwife needs to know which drugs may be prescribed during pregnancy, birth and postnatal care and understand the implications of their use on mother and child. The concise, tabular, pocket-sized format of The Midwife's Pocket Formulary enables easy reference to crucial information of the most commonly prescribed drugs as well as those administered only in emergency situations. Information on mode of action, side-effects, contra-indications and interaction of drug types is provided at a glance." "Including an outline of drugs and the law, calculations, a glossary of terms, abbreviations, and guidelines for further reading this quick reference is an essential companion for all midwives whether in a hospital or community environment." -- Book Jacket
