Direct guidance
What to know or do
If it is prescribed, continue only as directed and ask the prescriber before changing it. If it was taken unexpectedly, tell a clinician what, how much and when rather than guessing about risk.
What changes the answer
- The exact active ingredient, strength, dose, route and formulation
- Why you use it, how often, and the pregnancy week or exposure date
- Other prescriptions, non-prescription products, supplements and health conditions

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
