Easy to use and navigate, great summary sections for each drug with respect to pregnancy risk and breastfeeding, and all important info is color-coded and at the beginning of each monograph for quick reference if you're short on time. As a pharmacist, I reference this text a lot now and love it.

Every OB GYN and Fam Practice office should have at least one of these reference books. Information is concise and easy to find on the category of drugs in relation to pregnancy.

I would highly recommend this book as a resource in the Urgent/Emergency care setting. It is easy to use, fairly comprehensive, and facilitates the treatment of pregnant patients.
