When in doubt, it is best to avoid any medication during pregnancy unless it has been prescribed especially by a doctor.
However, there are women of childbearing age who are under treatment of some drugs that could seriously harm the fetus If they got pregnant.
The conclusions of a study conducted with almost half a million women in Oakland, United States, show misinformation What about this issue?
On the one hand they compiled the prescriptions of drugs that the FDA (agency that regulates medications) considers dangerous, while on the other they analyzed whether the women who were prescribed such medications were being advised on contraception.
The results showed that 1 in 6 women had taken a medicine with a compound that could cause malformations in the fetus and that only half of the prescriptions were accompanied by advice on contraception.
In conclusion, in my opinion, safer measures should be taken by doctors when prescribing a dangerous drug for women of childbearing age.
By way of advice, it is very important that you avoid any medication if you are looking for a pregnancy or if you think you may be pregnant and ask your doctor about the risks of the medication you are prescribing.
And in the same sense, if you must undergo some type of treatment with drugs that can be harmful in the event that you became pregnant, take the necessary measures to avoid it until you finish the treatment.
Do not forget to check with your doctor when you can start looking for pregnancy, as in some cases it is recommended to leave a few months until the body detoxifies.
