Direct guidance
What to know or do
Check the active ingredient, frequency, reason and how long you plan to use it with a pharmacist. Eye pain, vision loss, severe headache or breathing difficulty needs prompt assessment.
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.
