title: Drug use in pregnancy.
abstract: Drug use is on the increase and it impinges on many areas of clinical practice, posing complex management problems. It often provokes strong reactions--and never more so than when it involves pregnant women, with consequent implications for fetal wellbeing. In this emotive area we must objectively identify the real problems and distinguish clearly between medicine and morality.
