A/w Dr. LaBarbera: Prescription medications are each assigned an FDA pregnancy category. These are a good guide regarding which medications are considered safe, haven't been studied well or those which create significant risks to the unborn fetus. Your pharmacist or doctor can help in this matter. Make sure to let providers know you are pregnant before they prescribe medications.
