Drug therapy during pregnancy is a sensitive topic because drugs may have an impact on the fetus. However, if some diseases are not treated in time, they may cause greater harm to the health of pregnant women, and then affect the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women should be cautious in using drugs, but it is also inevitable. The following are some principles of medication for pregnant women, which I hope will help you.

Doctor's guidance

The use of any medicine should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, and it is not necessary to decide the medicine yourself, so as to avoid adverse effects on the fetus.

It is better to use it less.

Drugs that can be used less will never be used more, and drugs that can or cannot be used should be used as much as possible. If you must use drugs, you should choose drugs that are harmless to the fetus or have little effect.

Avoid abuse

Don't abuse drugs or listen to folk remedies and secret recipes to prevent accidents. Avoid advertising drugs or new drugs you don't know about.

Treatment control

According to the therapeutic effect, try to shorten the course of medication and reduce or stop the drug in time. When taking medicine, pay attention to the words "pregnant women should use it with caution, do not use it, and do not use it" on the package.

Take medicine by mistake

If pregnant women take drugs that may cause fetal malformation or harm the fetus by mistake, they should consult a doctor as soon as possible, and consider whether it is necessary to terminate the pregnancy according to factors such as pregnancy time, dosage and medication time.
