What if I become pregnant while using opioids?
A. Of all the alternatives available, opioids are safest for mother and child. Because opioid pain medications so closely resemble opioids that naturally occur in our bodies, the fetus is not endangered by them. Recent studies have shown, however that over the counter pain medications such as Advil and aspirin can cause women to miscarry 50% more than women who don’t take them.
