The following are stages of pregnancy, as they relate to pharmacology. Note that these are out of order.

: This occurs during weeks of the . The embryo has not yet established a physical connection to the mother. This is also called the period because exposure to a teratogen either causes death or has no effect. Drugs are much to cause malformations because the baby's organ systems have not yet begun to form, but certain drugs (such as ) can cause growth delays.

: Occurs in weeks post-conception. During this time, the fetus' organs systems are growing and developing. Blood flow to the placenta and placental vascular membranes become . This maximizes the transfer of substances from mother to child. The fetus may receive doses of medications and other substances from the mother, which has a prolonged duration of action in the unborn child due to a lack of mature metabolic enzymes and efficient excretion mechanisms.. Exposure to teratogens is to produce slowed growth or impaired organ function rather than gross structural malformations.

: This occurs in weeks postconception. There is rapid development of internal structures. This is the period of to teratogens. Teratogenic agents can lead to structural abnormalities and spontaneous abortion. The abnormality depends on which organ is forming.

The following is the current FDA pregnancy category ratings with examples. I made them out of order to make sure that we know the answers.

( A, B, C, D, X )- Adequate, well -controlled studies in pregnant women have shown no increased risk of fetal abnormalities in any trimester of pregnancy.

( C, B, A, D, X )- Animal studies have shown an adverse effect and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in women. OR no animal studies have been conducted and there are no adequate and well controlled studies on women (basically, we don't know what this will do to your baby.)

( X, D, A, B, C )- Adequate, well controlled observational studies in animals or pregnant women have demonstrated evidence of fetal abnormalities or risks.

( D, C, B, A, X )- Adequate, well controlled or observational studies in pregnant women have demonstrated a risk to the fetus.

( B, C, A, D, X )- Animal studies have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus, but there aren't any adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. OR animal studies have shown an averse effect, but adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women have failed to yield a similar response.

  • Plasma levels are reduce and the therapeutic response to drugs is increased.

  • A decline in body water makes dehydration more dramatic, and leads to an increased risk of drug toxicity and an increased concentration of water soluble drugs.

  • The liver produces less albumin and enzymes, and has less visceral blood flow, resulting in increased levels of free drug in the bloodstream and reduced hepatic drug metabolism.

  • Drug distribution is slowed because of decreased cardiac output and less efficient blood circulation

  • Because of reduced hepatic function, first-pass metabolism is decreased, so plasma levels are elevated and tissue concentrations of drug are increased

  • Excretion of drugs is decreased due to reduced renal function.

  • Serum drug levels and potential for toxicity increase due to decreased renal function causing reduced excretion.
