Drugs and Their Effects on Women from Utero into Adulthood

As for the survival of our species, women have a heavy burden. For nine months, women are a temporary family and life support that keeps the fetus healthy. Unfortunately, if someone decides to put themselves in front of their developing children, it can have catastrophic consequences. There are many legitimate and illegal things that can fundamentally change the result of a child growing in a woman. Although the use of alcohol and drugs during pregnancy is considered contraindicated in many parts of the world, others are not so conscious of the potential impact of this option, and in some cases pregnancy drug use Actually it does not tolerate.

The effects and risks of drug use are also affected by the attitudes of men and women who use drugs. If you use medicine, women are often seen as double bad. Especially if they use medicines that cause many criticisms, the use of male medicine is considered to be more acceptable than female and mother. Drug users of men who are parents are usually not treated the same way. Sex discrimination also affects drug use experience and drug risk. What the medicine is in and what people are doing at the time affects the danger. For example, some young people use medicines at the dangerous remote areas such as canal, highway, abandoned houses and so on. Especially if the user is drinking, there is a high possibility that accidents will occur in these places. Furthermore, if there is something wrong, you can call an ambulance with little help at hand.

Drug testing is done to obtain statistical data on the effects of drugs. The group that participated in the trial was usually composed of healthy men in the early adulthood. Women who are usually excluded are those who are not white people and those with poor health. This is done to make statistical analysis easier - fewer elements are needed to fix it. Until recently the pharmaceutical company was asked to publish test details including negative results, and in many cases the drug may not have been approved by the regulatory authority, if negative results are taken into account Absent. In some cases, drugs showed greater benefit than placebo (drug - placebo - without pharmacological effect), but drugs were "displayed" with significant benefit by careful manipulation of the data . A recent example is a group of antidepressants that is only slightly more effective than placebo.
