In patients who are pregnant and stable on the medication, is it better to risk maintaining the medication through the pregnancy, or change to a potentially "safer" alternative? What about after the pregnancy if the patient is breastfeeding the newborn? This webinar will present data on what the risks to both patient and baby might be throughout the pregnancy and into the postpartum/lactation period, and how this information might be used to educate patients to determine an appropriate course of action.
