First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at how HIV and tuberculosis (TB) medications are processed in the bodies of pregnant women and new mothers. Researchers measured drug levels in the blood of 205 women during pregnancy and after delivery to see if standard doses are effective. The goal was to gather information to help doctors prescribe the right doses for both mother and baby.
