Description
Eva Gerbier and coauthors published a 2026 study of bowel disease drugs used before and during pregnancy in Switzerland, drawn from the claims-based MAMA cohort. Well-held disease at the start predicts a calm pregnancy, and most bowel drugs count as safe in pregnancy, methotrexate aside. Fear still drives some women to stop treatment.
The study shows which drugs Swiss women got in the months before pregnancy began and across pregnancy, from 2012 to 2019, and how use shifted over time. Claims data capture drugs handed out rather than plans, giving a true picture of real practice. The authors aim to show whether real use matches safety proof or whether groundless caution still breaks up good therapy.
