AB Drugs  used  to  control  fertility  and  treat  disorders  of  the  female  reproductive  organs  collectively  are  among  the  most  frequently  prescribed  agents  in  clinical  practice.  This  chapter  discusses  a  number  of  common  clinical  issues  and  their  drug  therapies  that  are  central  to  women's  health.  The  focus  is  on  reproductive  disorders  and  aspects  of  therapy  rather  than  comprehensive  coverage  of  the  drugs  themselves,  which  are  described  in  more  detail  elsewhere  (e.g.,  Chapter  33  for  prostaglandins;  Chapter  38  for  the  gonadotropins,  gonadotropin-releasing  hormone  [GnRH]  agonists  and  antagonists,  and  oxytocin;  Chapter  40  for  estrogens  and  progestins;  Section  VII  for  antibiotics).
