      Can pregnant women take over-the-counter medicines? Pregnant women cannot take Chinese patent medicines . Single-flavored Chinese herbal medicines, which are thought to have toxic and side effects, often appear in formulas in proprietary Chinese medicines, so you must be especially careful when taking them.

      The main Chinese patent medicines that should be contraindicated include Niuhuang Jiedu Pills, Niuhuang Qingxin Pills, rheumatism medicinal wine, bruise medicine, etc. You should be careful even when using wound medicine patches and do not use them for too long. clinical As long as the doctor correctly differentiates the syndrome and uses the medicine appropriately, even if the medicine is poisonous or contraindicated, the disease can be cured and the fetus is relieved.

      Therefore, once pregnant women get sick, they can still use more controversial drugs, but when their condition improves, they should consider stopping and no longer using them. 》》》 Six types of pregnant women who should not drink milk
