Are Certain Medications Off-Limits During Pregnancy?

there some medications I can’t take now?

You should steer clear of many medications during pregnancy. Even common over-the-counter (OTC) medications that are generally safe may be considered off-limits because of their potential effects on the baby. Certain prescription medications also may cause damage to the developing fetus.

If you were prescribed a medication before you became pregnant for an illness, disease, or condition you still have, consult with your doctor, who can help you weigh the potential benefits and risks of continuing your prescription. Also ask about which medicines (including prescriptions, OTC medicines, herbal remedies, and supplements) are safe to take during pregnancy, even if they seem like no big deal.
