Medications & Herbal Medicines
OTC & Herbal Medicines: Key Considerations
- Key Considerations
- Always talk to your provider before taking any medication or supplement. Not all over-the-counter medications are safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Lack of Regulation: Herbal supplements are not regulated by the FDA like conventional medicines, meaning they may contain unlisted ingredients or contaminants.
- Not All “Natural” is Safe: “Natural” does not mean safe; herbs contain active substances that can pass through the placenta and affect fetal development.
- First Trimester Risk: The first three months are the most critical for organ development, making it safest to avoid all herbal remedies during this time.
