Arbitrary discharge time doesn't really help hospital flow. As with all things in medicine, it's just more complicated than that.

Richard Conway Sergio Prieto Cassy Sims, MD Dr. John Cush American College of Rheumatology BSR If you come across an unintendend pregnancy while on LEF, of course you wanna play safe and recommend wash-out, but you can also reassure the patient that drug exposure will not affect the fetus in terms of major malformations. See screenshots of 2023 BSR paragraph on LEF

Richard Conway Sergio Prieto Cassy Sims, MD Dr. John Cush American College of Rheumatology BSR To wrap up we may say:
Pregnancy incompatible drugs: correct to include LEF.
Teratogens: MTX, CYC, MMF. Not correct to include LEF.
Also good to remind #warfarin and #thalidomide as teratogens.
