Is Over-the-Counter medicine okay when I'm pregnant?

I’m 33 weeks pregnant and I’m getting a yeast infection… I tried to call my Dr and ask him what I should do but they are not open today (just my luck)… and I don’t really think It’s something I should have the answering service call him on. So I’m asking you all… What should I do??? Can I use the over the counter stuff? Is it safe for the baby?

Answer #1

When you go to the pharmacy ask the pharmacist what would be the most appropriate medicine. They actually know more about drugs than most doctors.

Answer #2

You should always, always ask your doctor before using any products when you’re pregnant- it usually says so on the bottle or tube or whatever. If you go to a pharmacy, the pharmacist may be able to help you and assist you in what it is you should do. I would say keep trying to contact your doctor even after you’ve decided what to do, just so he knows what’s going on with you during your pregnancy.

Answer #3

Definitely consult your doctor on all medical requirements. Some medicines can cause damage to your baby.
