Abstract

Recent supply constraints for labetalol, immediate-release nifedipine and misoprostol tablets in Australia have highlighted pregnant women's vulnerability to critical medication supply disruptions, and underscored the broader structural disadvantage this population faces in accessing effective, evidence-based pharmaceutical agents. In this perspective article, we summarise key challenges underpinning this disadvantage and propose some solutions.
