Methamphetamine and amphetamine use has greatly increased all throughout the United States. While similar to cocaine, it’s mechanism of action is quite unique and dangerous. In this session we will cover the pharmacology of amphetamines/meth and its affects on pregnancy. We will also cover some common every day medications which can actually test false positive for meth/amphetamines on toxicology screening. Data for this podcast come from the ACOG, SMFM, and the CDC.
