A member asked:
Hi docs, is it true that prevacid and pamine (methscopolamine) are harmful to take while pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pregnancy Risks: Pamine (Methscopolamine) is FDA pregnancy Category C- so there is a possibility of harm to fetus. Prevacid (Lansoprazole) is FDA pregnancy category B. This means that animal studies have not revealed harm to fetus but that there is no data from human studies.
