Assessment of the Safety of Artemisinin Compounds in Pregnancy: Report of Two Informal Consultations Convened by WHO in 2002
Various artemisinin compounds have been used as treatment for different forms of malaria since the early 1980s, initially in China where first developed and subsequently in many other countries. The literature on their use in pregnancy has been limited and animal studies have suggested that their use during pregnancy be restricted. With more data becoming available, it was time to re-evaluate existing data and policies on the use of artemisinin compounds in pregnancy. This report presents WHO’s current position on use of artemisinin compounds during pregnancy. On this page is the executive summary and a link to the full-text WHO report.
