Many people wonder which medications are safe during pregnancy.
Only a few medications have been specifically approved for use during pregnancy. However, many other ones can be safe if they are used carefully. Do not exceed the recommended dose as printed on the label. With the exception of prenatal vitamins, avoid all medications during the first 13 weeks of pregnancy. Any health problem which requires using medication repeatedly or for more than two days should be discussed with your health care provider.
