Canada’s Blind Spot on Drug Safety in Pregnancy – SOGC

The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) shared a post on LinkedIn:

“A new op-ed published in the Montreal Gazette, co-authored by SOGC CEO Dr. Diane Francoeur and SOGC member Prof. Anick Bérard, highlights a critical gap in women’s health: the lack of robust data on the safety of medications during pregnancy.

Dr. Francoeur and Prof. Bérard note that most prescription drugs approved in Canada lack adequate safety data for use in pregnancy, leaving patients and physicians to make important decisions without clear evidence.
They call for stronger national data infrastructure, sustained investment in women’s health research and better integration of real-world evidence to change behaviour and improve outcomes.

Read the full op-ed.”
