Abstract:
Primary headaches are most common in women during their reproductive years and are affected by the hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy.

Management of primary headaches during pregnancy is essentially similar to management in the nonpregnant state, with a few exceptions. This article reviews the epidemiology, prognosis, and management of primary headaches during pregnancy and lactation, and considers secondary headaches that are important to exclude.

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla. Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by anesthetizing...
