What is the safest medication to take in pregnancy?
When it comes to medication use in pregnancy, we try to assess the safety based on animal and human studies, or on the pharmacologic and pharmacokinetic property of the drug. The safest medication should be the drug that will work best for you, has the least number of side effects, and has not been shown to cause harm to the fetus. The benefit of taking the medication should outweigh the potential risk. Always talk to your doctor before taking medications in pregnancy.
