In this episode, consulting pharmacist Dr. Danielle Plummer and clinical pharmacist Dr. Tara Birch pull back the curtain on pregnancy medication confusion and why it happens. As Tara puts it, “Pharmacists need to be utilized more than they are. We are medication specialists.” The core message is clear: every mom needs a pharmacist as part of her care team.
