Abstract

Abstract: Objective To explore ancient theories about pharmacovigilance for progestational, pregnant and post-partum women in Chinese medicine, and provide reference for clinical pharmaceutical care and safe use of Chinese medicine. Methods Statements about pharmacovigilance were collected from 20 books on gynaecology and obstetrics published from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Such information as phases, diseases, drugs, contraindications and precautions was retrieved. Notions of pharmacovigilance in Chinese medicine were ultimately collected via comparisons and summaries. Results In such phases as pregnancy preparation, pregnancy, perinatal and post-partum periods, pharmacovigilance measures for Chinese medicine included contraindications based on syndromes/ symptoms/ diseases, those based on people and time, control of dosage and courses of treatment, and dietary incompatibility. Such factors as drugs, patients and medications should be taken into consideration in pharmaceutical care according to the characteristics of different phases. Conclusion Pharmacovigilance measures for progestational, pregnant and post-partum women vary. Pharmaceutical care and guidance for rational use of Chinese medicine should be delivered based on physiological and pathological characteristics.

Key words: progestational, pregnant and post-partum women, pregnancy preparation, pregnancy, perinatal, post-partum, traditional Chinese medicine, pharmacovigilance, pharmaceutical care
