SR Print(0) ID 1148442503 T1 Special Aspects of Perinatal & Pediatric Pharmacology T2 Basic & Clinical Pharmacology, 14e YR 2017 FD 2017 PB McGraw-Hill Education PP New York, NY SN 9781259641152 LK accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1148442503 RD 2024/04/19 AB The effects of drugs on the fetus and newborn infant are based on the general principles set forth in Chapters 1,2,3,4 of this book. However, the physiologic contexts in which these pharmacologic laws operate are different in pregnant women and in rapidly maturing infants. At present, the special pharmacokinetic factors operative in these patients are beginning to be understood, whereas information regarding pharmacodynamic differences (eg, receptor characteristics and responses) is still incomplete.
