RESULTS:Among 166 drug instructions, 147 (88.55%)had listed the item ofdrug use for pregnant and lactating womenalone,and labeled with the drug information on preg-nant women;14(8.43%)had listed the item too,but labeled with no or limited clinical data,and whether pregnant women could use or not was not suggested;5(3.01%)didn't have the item. About without guidance of drug use,there were 3(1.81%)drug in-structions missed guidance,and 14(8.43%)with no or limited clinical data. About with guidance of drug use,49(29.52%)were labeled with forbidden for pregnant women;40(24.1%)were labeled with can't/not suitable/should not be used for pregnant wom-en;49 (29.52%) were labeled with cautious/not recommend/weighed the pros and cons/benefits greater than the risk/consulted a doctor for pregnant women;and 11(6.63%)were labeled with being safe/being not restricted for pregnant women.
