Low-dose aspirin for prevention of pre-eclampsia: when over the counter just isn’t

Another socially distanced DTB podcast features James Cave (Editor-in-Chief) and David Phizackerley (Deputy Editor), who provide an overview of the July issue of DTB. This includes an editorial that discusses some of the challenges in supplying low-dose aspirin to pregnant women for prevention of pre-eclampsia, a DTB Forum article by Margaret McCartney on some of the challenges to evidence-based medicine during the coronavirus pandemic and a DTB Select update on the safety of ibuprofen in people with COVID-19. The main article discusses managing antiepileptic drugs before and during pregnancy for women with epilepsy, and this month's case report is of amiodarone-induced diffuse alveolar haemorrhage.
