Pregnant women should not use pregnancy-preserving medications indiscriminately. If necessary, they should undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor, use medications based on specific indications, and pay attention to the methods of administration. Only by using pregnancy-preserving medications correctly can the ideal therapeutic effect be achieved.

Common Pregnancy-Preserving Medications:

Early Pregnancy (before 12 weeks):

  1. Progesterone support drugs
  2. Anticoagulants
  3. Vitamins
  4. Hemostatic agents
  5. Immunomodulators

Mid to Late Pregnancy (after 12 weeks):

  1. Tocolytics (contraction inhibitors)
  2. Antibiotics

When purchasing medications, it is necessary to buy them based on a doctor’s prescription from a legitimate hospital or pharmacy. During purchase, pay attention to checking the drug’s production approval number, production date, and packaging for any damage, and choose brands with good reputations. Before using, carefully read the product instructions, noting indications, precautions, and contraindications. If you find that you belong to a group that should use the drug with caution or not at all, please contact your doctor promptly.

Pay attention to the “FDA Pregnancy Category” of medications. This is a classification by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) based on the effects of drugs on fetal teratogenicity observed in animal experiments and clinical use. Drugs are categorized into A, B, C, D, and X, with safety decreasing from A to X. For pregnant women, category C drugs should be used only after weighing the risks and benefits, and category D and X drugs should be avoided during pregnancy.
