[Poisonings and their treatment during pregnancy]

In poisonings during pregnancy, the mother should be treated as well as possible, following the general principles and regimes utilized in treatments for poisoning. Activated charcoal can be used safely. In cases where administration of antidote is justified from the mother's standpoint, it can also be given to a pregnant mother. Risk assessment for poisonings during pregnancy can be difficult in individual cases. Fetal prognosis is, however, relatively good provided that the mother receives appropriate and timely initiated treatment.
