A member asked:
What is a safe medication to take for diahrrhea when pregnant? or is there one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: Anti-diarrheal medications are pregnancy category C, meaning animals studies show adverse fetal effects but no controlled human studies have been done. Avoid if possible. If you are concerned about any medication or food and its effect on pregnancy, best to avoid.
