An FDA online consumer post updates agency efforts to provide more drug information to women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. “When a prescription medication is approved by FDA for adults, it is also approved for pregnant patients,” FDA [says](https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/pregnant-breastfeeding-fda-aims-improve-drug-information?ref=fdaweb.com). “But information about medication dosing during pregnancy and breastfeeding is often not available. For that and other reasons, it is important to discuss treatment options with your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.”

The post covers the 2015 updating of labeling for over 1,800 prescription drugs and agency efforts to increase pregnancy and breastfeeding data.
