The American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) is proud to present an essential educational session addressing one of the most discussed topics in maternal-fetal medicine: safe and effective treatment of fever and pain during pregnancy.
Session Title
“Evidence-Based, Patient-Centered Therapy Selection for Fever and Pain During Pregnancy”*
Why This Matters
Recent discussions surrounding the safety of acetaminophen use during pregnancy—particularly its potential association with neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring—have raised important questions among clinicians and patients alike. This session was developed to provide clarity, grounded in evidence, and to empower health care professionals to make informed, patient-centered decisions.
What You’ll Learn
Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of:
- The risks associated with untreated fever and pain during pregnancy
- Pharmacotherapy options, including acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and opioid analgesics
- Adverse effects and safety considerations for each treatment class
- Recent research evaluating acetaminophen and neurodevelopmental outcomes
- Strategies to synthesize data into evidence-based, individualized recommendations
Expert Faculty
We are honored to feature 2 leading voices in maternal-fetal pharmacotherapy:
- Dr Mary Hebert, professor of pharmacy and director of the Obstetric-Fetal Pharmacology Research Unit at the University of Washington
- Dr Emily Fay, maternal-fetal medicine specialist and medical director of the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Clinic at the University of Washington
Together, they will guide attendees through the latest evidence, methodological considerations, and practical approaches to clinical decision-making.
Why Attend
Treatment decisions during pregnancy are complex and require balancing potential risks with the consequences of untreated conditions. This session equips clinicians with the tools to confidently answer drug information questions and participate in collaborative, evidence-based care.
