Always discuss with your healthcare professional before making any changes to your treatment.
Pregnancy is a period of importante changes in the body of the pregnant person. During this period, some medications can be taken, while others are not recommended as they increase health risks for the mother or baby.
If you have a medical condition requiring constant medication, such as epilepsy or anxiety, planning your pregnancy in advance is key. By planning several months ahead, your doctor can adjust or adapt your medication for your future pregnancy.
If you find out that you are pregnant and are currently taking prescribed medication, talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist as soon as possible.
It is important not to stop or adjust your treatment on your own. Abruptly stopping your medication can sometimes pose greater risks to you and your baby than continuing under medical supervision.
Your healthcare team will assess your specific health needs, the potential benefits, and the risks of the medication to find the best option for you. Your healthcare professionals will support you through this new journey to ensure both your health and the well-being of your baby.
