The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of herbal drugs by pregnant women in relation to concurrent use of conventional drugs, delivery, and pregnancy outcome.
600 women at Stavanger University Hospital Norway were interviewed using a structured questionnaire within five days after delivery. Medical birth charts were reviewed with respect to pregnancy outcome.
In all, 39.7% of the women reported having used herbal drugs during pregnancy, most commonly ginger, iron-rich herbs, echinacea and cranberry. Although 86.3% of the women reported having used conventional drugs during pregnancy there were few potential interactions between herbal drugs and conventional drugs. There was a significant association between the use of iron-rich herbs during pregnancy and high birthweight, and use of raspberry leaves and caesarean delivery.
Use of herbal drugs is common during pregnancy and indicates a need for documentation about their safety in pregnancy.
本研究旨在调查孕妇在使用草药药物的同时使用常规药物、分娩和妊娠结局的情况。
600 名在挪威斯塔万格大学医院分娩的妇女在分娩后 5 天内使用结构化问卷进行了访谈。对母婴出生记录图表进行了回顾，以评估妊娠结局。
在所有孕妇中，39.7%的人报告在怀孕期间使用了草药药物，最常见的是生姜、富含铁的草药、紫锥菊和蔓越莓。尽管 86.3%的孕妇报告在怀孕期间使用了常规药物，但草药药物和常规药物之间很少有潜在的相互作用。怀孕期间使用富含铁的草药与高出生体重以及使用覆盆子叶和剖宫产分娩之间存在显著关联。
孕妇在怀孕期间使用草药药物很常见，这表明需要记录其在怀孕期间的安全性。
