Mechanisms of altered hepatic drug disposition during pregnancy: small molecules

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Pregnancy alters the systemic exposure and clearance of many hepatically cleared drugs that are commonly used by obstetric patients. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the changes in factors that affect hepatic drug clearance (blood flow, protein binding, and intrinsic clearance) is essential to more precisely predict systemic drug exposure and dose requirements in obstetric patients....
