A member asked:

A relative of mine is pregnant & i've been trying to tell her certain meds may be hazardous. what are some meds that are known to cause miscarriages?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Doctor visit: Addressing which medications are safe and unsafe is too broad a topic for a simple answer. The best approach is for her to schedule a prenatal appointment with her doctor. Then they can go over her medical history and address her specific medications together to determine if any changes need to be made.
