- Title
Drug Therapy of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Fertile Women.
- Authors
Kroser, Joyann; Srinivasan, Radhika
- Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a disease that affects women of childbearing age. Active disease at conception increases the risk for adverse outcomes and thus postponement of pregnancy until the disease is in remission is the best advice that physicians can give their IBD patients. The majority of medications used to treat IBD are safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding; active, untreated, or undertreated disease is more deleterious than active therapy.
