    Abstract Introduction: Prescription and drug order writing are key components of patient care allowing physicians communicate their therapeutic plans. Although electronic prescriptions are becoming more common, handwritten prescriptions are still quite prevalent and a persistent issue with handwritten prescriptions is the illegibility of physician handwritings. Prescriptions have to be legible to avoid delays in healthcare provision and consequences as serious as patient death.
    Areas covered: We did a scoping review of multiple articles that assessed the legibility of prescriptions in different settings (inpatient, outpatient, and pharmacies) and countries, ranging from 1997 to 2020. Studies also elaborated on possible reasons for these suboptimal prescriptions and ways to address them.
    Expert opinion: While the degree of legibility of prescriptions varies widely, it remains a concern because a single incorrectly read prescription can have severe consequences. Various measures exist to possibly minimize illegible prescriptions and while none alone is probably sufficient, combining is likely to yield great results. One is the sensitization and education of physicians and physicians-in-training. Another option is audits and a third and very potent option is the use of computerized provider order entry (CPOE) system which will help improve patient safety by reducing errors due to inappropriately read prescriptions.

    Abstract Introduction: Migraine is common in females of childbearing age and negatively impacts quality of life. The majority of those with migraine who become pregnant see an improvement in their condition but not all do. Providing evidence-based recommendations for the pharmacological management of migraine in pregnancy is challenging.
    Areas covered: This narrative review provides an update on the safety of drugs used for migraine in pregnancy. National and international guidelines on the management of episodic migraine in adults were used to select the drugs of relevance to pregnant women. The final list of drugs was chosen by a pain specialist who categorized them according to drug class and use in acute management or prevention. PubMed was searched from inception to 31st July 2022 for evidence on drug safety.
    Expert opinion: Obtaining high-quality drug safety data in pregnant migraineurs is difficult not least because exposing a fetus to research-related risks is often considered unethical. There is reliance on observational studies which often group drugs together and lack specificities pertinent to drug prescribing like timing, dosing and duration. Improved statistical tools, study designs and the creation of international collaborative frameworks are ways to advance knowledge on drug safety in pregnancy.

    Areas covered: We performed a thorough search of original peer-reviewed literature using electronic bibliographic databases and selected articles according to a set of criteria. The total number of articles retrieved from the search terms applied to the databases was 2344. The number of relevant full-text articles included added up to 19. We identified 16 compounds that can theoretically reduce the levels of mutant TGFBIp in human corneal cells.
    Expert opinion: Currently, the only temporary treatments available for this condition are lubricant drops and surgery. Here, we explored the crosstalk between cascades that regulate
