Which prescribed medications are safe during pregnancy?

Some prescribed medications can be taken during pregnancy, but caution is essential. Your healthcare professional will evaluate the potential risks and benefits of each medication with you to determine the best option for you. Our website can also assist you in this process!

Many factors influence the recommendation of a medication during pregnancy, including the amount of available scientific research. Research helps determine the risks and benefits of a medication. Most medications have not been widely studied in pregnant women. However, post-market studies have shown that some medications, like folic acid or penicillin-based antibiotics, generally do not increase risks.

Every pregnancy is unique. Always consult your healthcare team to determine if a medication is appropriate for your situation.
