This government website may be of help to you:

* Constipation remedies: Stool softeners and other products, including Milk of Magnesia, Amphogel, and Maalox

* Heartburn remedies: Many antacids, including Amphogel, Gelusil, and Maalox
* Multivitamins: Many brands, as long as they don't include doses of vitamins or minerals far in excess of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI).
Caveat: Talk to your doctor about taking prenatal vitamin-mineral supplements, which are specially formulated for pregnant and nursing women.
* Pain relievers: Acetaminophen, or Tylenol
* Yeast Infection remedies: Most vaginal creams, including Monistat and Femizol-M"
However, regardless of whether the information you find online says it's okay, you should speak with your doctor first.

Get the list of ok drugs from your doctor

Talk to your pharmacist, or better yet, your pediatrician since there may be drugs that could be OK for someone else but not you for one reason or another. NEVER assume anything when it comes to the health of your child.

You can use the Drug Search at the link below to look up any medication before you take it to see if it's safe.

Ask your Doctors nurse to get you one. I'm sure they have one and it shouldnt cost. Call in and ask for a drug list for someone while being pregnant. I know they gave us one when we were pregnant.

I am afraid such a list, if printed, would be too much to carry. Check the container. They usually give a warning if it is dangerous.

Tylenol is the only thing according to my Dr. You should ask your Doctor, the internet sometimes gives bad advice.

Check with your OB doctor. They will let you know what OTC meds are okay for you to take. Every patient is different-only they know your complete medical history!
