Contraindications for use during pregnancy

During pregnancy, expectant mothers are most worried about getting sick, because they cannot take medicine after getting sick. Considering the baby's health, expectant mothers are particularly careful every day and pay attention to their physical health. If there is really no way to avoid the need for medication, do not go to the hospital to buy medicine privately. You must first go to the hospital to consult a doctor, and then the doctor will arrange appropriate medicine for us based on the examination results.

Certain drugs that can damage the fetus and cause miscarriage should be avoided during pregnancy, which is called contraindications for medication during pregnancy. Depending on the degree of damage the drug causes to the fetus and pregnant women, it can usually be divided into two categories: prohibited use and cautious use.

Contraindications to medication during pregnancy: Certain drugs that can damage the fetus and cause miscarriage should be avoided during pregnancy, which is called contraindications to medication during pregnancy. Depending on the degree of damage the drug causes to the fetus and pregnant women, it can usually be divided into two categories: prohibited use and cautious use.

1. Prohibited categories: Most of them are highly toxic, or have strong laxative, blood-dissolving, and other medicinal properties, such as blister beetle, croton, morning glory, euphorbia, pokeweed, gelsemium elegans, genkwa, leech, horsefly, dry lacquer, trillium, curcuma, musk, etc.

2. Use with caution: Most of them are medicines that can remove blood stasis and promote menstruation, break up qi and relieve stagnation, and have pungent, hot, and lubricating properties to move the fetus, such as peach kernel, safflower, Achyranthes bidentata, Pollen Typha, rhubarb, Glauber's salt, Aconitum, dried ginger, cinnamon, Citrus aurantium, Fructus Dendranthemae, and Dianthus superbus. Regardless of whether the drug is prohibited or used with caution, its use should be avoided as much as possible unless there is a special need. However, if a pregnant woman suffers from a serious illness and the disease cannot be cured without the use of the above-mentioned medicines, we should grasp the main contradiction and use them as appropriate to eliminate the pathogenic factors quickly and carefully, which will be more beneficial to the health of mother and child. This is the reason why there is a cause and no death.
