Abstract
Question: I am treating two pregnant patients who have rheumatoid arthritis with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Are these medications safe at high doses during pregnancy? Answer: While these medications do not appear to increase overall rates of congenital malformations, they do increase the risk of ductus arteriosus constriction or closure.
