Treatment of Crohn's disease in pregnant women: drug and multidisciplinary approaches.
World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG 2014 July 22
Inflammatory bowel disease affects a substantial number of women in their reproductive years.

Historically, treatments for Crohn's disease (CD) were often discontinued during the pregnancy, or nursing period, due to concerns about teratogenicity. Fortunately, observational data has reported the relative safety of many agents used to treat CD, including 5-aminosalicylic acid, thiopurines, and tumor necrosis factor. Data on the long-term development outcomes of children exposed to these therapies in utero are still limited. It is most important that physicians educate the patient regarding the optimal time to conceive, discuss the possible risks, and together decide on the best management strategy.
