Thank you thats so helpful i have such a sore throat and i cannot sleep and i was going to take something for it like two days ago and then i found out i was pregnant so this has been some help to me
Many prescription drugs are ok as well….. I know im on several……………. My dr put me on vicodone, i dont take it unless i need it…….. and im on several other meds……… many are ok as long as the dr watches the dose.
This may be a generalized list of OTC drugs which your OB-GYN considers safe, but when pregnant, since each individual is different, it would be better if they got this information from their own doctor that is familiar with any kind of health problems they may have. And yes, I had to take prenatal vitamins, plus I had to take some medication prescribed for me from my OB/GYN while I was pregnant.
