This literature study is a narrative review that explores nine primary research literature on available pharmacological treatment options in pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 through the Pubmed and ScienceDirect databases based on established inclusion and exclusion criteria. The most common types of therapy are: Remdesivir (Antivirus), Lopinavir/ritonavir (Antivirus); Hydroxychloroquine (Antimalaria); Ceftriaxone (Antibiotic); and Dexamethasone (Corticosteroid).

The highest number of pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 were cesarean delivery, preterm delivery, and increased ALT and AST values. The most common neonatal outcome is the incidence of LBW
