Abstract

Most recommended obstetric therapeutic agents are not licensed for their purpose. There is a lack of funding for research and little development of new therapeutic agents for use in the treatment of pregnancy-related disorders. Current therapeutics used in maternal health and their licensing status are reviewed and suggestions for these shortfalls together with possible solutions considered.
