This study explored views, practices, and needs related to patient counseling on medication safety in obstetrics and gynecology. Survey responses from over 500 OB/GYNs indicate opportunities to improve available resources and information sharing, such as developing new tools to communicate about teratogenic medications and pregnancy-safe over-the-counter medications and dietary supplements.
