Pregmedic: The Canadian Alliance for the Safe and Effective Use of Medications in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Pregmedic, the Canadian Alliance for the Safe and Effective Use of Medications in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding, has been created by representatives from health professions, academia, patients, regulatory and industry. Its main goal is to have pregnant women and their fetuses recognized as a vulnerable patient population and to ensure that health care professionals and patients have access to current and reliable information on the safety and efficacy of medications used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
