About this trial

Drug prescriptions are usual during pregnancy however women and their fetuses still remain an orphan population with regard to drugs efficacy and safety clinical studies. Most xenobiotics diffuse through the placenta and some of them can alter fetus development resulting in structural abnormalities, growth or functional deficiencies. The aim of the study is to study the drug transfer using human placenta after delivery.
