Omeprazole

Omeprazole can usually be used in pregnancy when your doctor advises it. It is the preferred proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in pregnancy because there is more information about its safety than for other PPIs, and there is no good evidence linking it to birth defects or miscarriage. Lifestyle changes and antacids or alginates are usually tried first.

Use With CautionTGA B3

Pantoprazole

Pantoprazole is not usually the first choice in pregnancy because there is little information about its use. Try lifestyle changes and antacids first. If you need an acid-reducing medicine, your doctor may suggest omeprazole instead.

Cetirizine

Cetirizine is commonly used during pregnancy for allergies. UK guidance says it can be taken in pregnancy, and the available information does not suggest harm to your baby. Check with your doctor before taking it.

Azithromycin

Azithromycin can be used during pregnancy for an infection that needs treatment, when your doctor prescribes it and the benefits outweigh the possible risks. The best antibiotic depends on the infection. Other antibiotics such as amoxicillin may be more suitable for some infections, but azithromycin is the recommended treatment for chlamydia in pregnancy.

Sertraline

Metformin

Metformin is used in pregnancy to treat type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes.
