title: [Medication therapy during pregnancy].
abstract: Approximately 85% of pregnant women receive at least one medical prescription during their gestation. One percent of major congenital malformations of the fetus are attributed to embryotoxic medication. Because ENT surgeons and pregnant women are often uncertain about proper medication, treatment of specific ENT problems is often provided by the obstetrician. Based on the current knowledge, PubMed research, and recommendations of the Red List (Rote Liste) of the German Pharmaceutical Industry and the FDA, medical treatment of ENT-specific diseases is discussed.
