Children and pregnant women are often excluded from clinical research. This has resulted in a paucity of evidence on how medicines work for fetuses, neonates, infants, and adolescents. It also raises bioethics, scientific, and public health concerns. For over half a century, doctors have prescribed medicines to children largely on the basis of how they work in adults, despite children’s varied physiologies and differences in how their bodies absorb and metabolize drugs. Regulations and legislation have led to an increase in the number of pediatric studies and to better drug labeling. However, children at all stages of their lives often remain “therapeutic orphans” owing to insufficient evidence about how medicines work for them.

Physiological problems due to deficiency of minerals and vitamins level in Bangladeshi female population are on the rise. The primary goal of this study was to find out the intake of nutritional supplements among urban female population. A survey on nutritional supplements was designed for females in some selected area of Dhaka city. One hundred fifty females were recruited, segmented under two sections (non-pregnant / pregnant) and most of them were interviewed face-to-face systematically. 10.7% of the sample was pregnant women and the rest (89.3%) was the non-pregnant category. Participants were asked questions about their prescription drug patterns and intake of nutritional supplements. The study revealed that 53.0% of the female patients were not aware of the value of daily intake of nutritional foods. So, we also found that nutritional supplements were given to the patients continuously (34.48%), occasionally (18.39%) and at first (28.74%). Calcium supplement (36.90%), zinc supplement (14.10 %) and iron supplement (19.90 %) were prescribed most. Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 23(1): 39-43, 2020

Limited clinical research with pregnant women has resulted in insufficient data to promote evidence-informed prenatal care. Charmaz’s constructivist grounded theory methodology was used to explore how research with pregnant women would be determined ethically acceptable from the perspectives of pregnant women, health care providers, and researchers in reproductive sciences. Semistructured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 12 pregnant women, 10 health care providers, and nine reproductive science researchers. All three groups suggested the importance of informed consent and that permissible risk would be very limited and complex, being dependent on the personal benefits and risks of each particular study. Pregnant women, clinicians, and researchers shared concerns about the well-being of the woman and her fetus, and expressed a dilemma between promoting research for evidence-informed prenatal care while securing the safety in the course of research participation.
