I have arthritis had two miscarriages. i'm on sulfazalasine, hydroxycloroquine & prednisone tablets is it safe to take these medicines while pregnant?

Stop sulfasalazine: The sulfasalazine should not be taken during pregnancy. Hydroxychloroquine and low doses of Prednisone can be continued throughout pregnancy.
