Safe medicine for pregnant women: US President Donald Trump recently created a stir worldwide by making a statement. He claimed that commonly used pain and fever medicine can increase the risk of autism and ADHD in the child in pregnancy. After this statement of Trump, fear spread among pregnant women and discussion on social media also intensified.
However, the World Health Organization (WHO), European Medicine Agency (EMA) and Britain’s health agencies have rejected Trump’s claim. Former Chief Scientist of WHO, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan said that paracetamol is still the safest medicine for pregnant women. He clearly said that no new scientific evidence has been revealed about this.
What medicines should be avoided in pregnancy?
Doctors say that pregnant women should not consume any medicine without the advice of a doctor. Many medicines can affect fetal development. Let us know those medicines which should not be forgotten in pregnancy –
Ibuprofen and diclofenac – These medicines are taken in pain and swelling, but taking during pregnancy can affect the child’s heart and kidney.
Tetracycline – It is an antibiotic that can affect the growth of bones and teeth in the unborn baby.
Isotratinoin– It is usually given as a medicine for pimples. But it is very dangerous for pregnant women and can cause congenital disorder in the child.
Some anti -ai -lady drugs – Some of the drugs used in the treatment of epilepsy can increase birth defects and neurological problems in the fetus.
Hormonal drugs– Taking any hormonal medicine without doctor’s advice can pose a threat to the unborn baby.
Indian opinion on paracetamol dispute
Indian doctors have also clearly stated that Trump’s claim is not scientifically correct. Dr. Rajiv Jayaraman of Cochin said that in a study on 24 lakh children in Sweden, it was found that paracetamol does not increase the risk of autism or other neuro-decayal disorder.
He warned that if pregnant women do not take paracetamol in high fever, then it can pose a threat to both mother and child. Fever can damage the development of the fetus. Trump’s statement may have created a stir, but health experts say that this claim is not correct on scientific basis. Paracetamol can be safely taken in pregnancy with doctor’s advice. Yes, it is very important to take care in the case of other medicines. Pregnant women should consult a doctor by not taking any kind of pain, fever or infection. The right medicine and treatment at the right time not only keeps the health of the mother safe but also develops the child correctly.
