Pregnancy medication contraindications: Certain drugs that can harm the fetus and cause abortion should be avoided during pregnancy, known as pregnancy medication contraindications. Depending on the degree of harm to the fetus and the pregnant woman, they are usually divided into two categories: prohibited and cautiously used.
1. Prohibited category: These are mostly highly toxic drugs or drugs with strong purgative, blood-breaking, or dispersing properties, such as blister beetle, croton seed, morning glory seed, giant dodder, rhubarb, cape jasmine fruit, false hellebore, leech, housefly, lacquer, triangular spurge, curcuma, musk, etc.
2. Cautiously used category: These are mostly drugs that can promote blood circulation, relieve stasis, promote qi flow, and expel heat, such as peach kernel, safflower, achyranthes root, cyperus tuber, rhubarb, mirabilite, aconite, dried ginger, cinnamon, gardenia fruit, winter melon seed, madder, etc. Regardless of whether a drug is prohibited or cautiously used, it should be avoided as much as possible without special necessity. However, if a pregnant woman suffers from a severe illness and cannot be cured without using the above-mentioned drugs, the main contradiction should be grasped, and the drugs should be used with caution to quickly eliminate the disease without causing harm to the mother and child. This is the principle of having a reason for using a drug and avoiding unnecessary risks.
