Drug prescriptions are usual during pregnancy however women and their fetuses still remain an orphan population with regard to drugs efficacy and safety clinical studies. Most xenobiotics diffuse through the placenta and some of them can alter fetus development resulting in structural abnormalities, growth or functional deficiencies.
