00:00 So let's wrap up this video series. 00:02 More than half of pregnant women take at least one medication or more during their pregnancy. 00:08 Remember, drugs follow the same placental route taken by oxygen and nutrients that are needed for the fetus's growth and development. 00:15 Now, the original A, B, C, D, and X pregnancy categories have been replaced. 00:20 We now use 3 narrative sections with multiple subsections of the PLLR. 00:26 Placental drug transfer can cause harm but it's not all bad news. 00:30 It can also be used to help the fetus by giving the medication to the mother that is needed by the fetus. 00:37 Now, there's significant changes in a woman's body during pregnancy. 00:41 These changes can impact drug disposition and dosing. 00:45 Pharmacokinetic processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism excretion in a pregnant woman are impacted. 00:53 Thank you for watching our video today.
