Unfortunately, today’s society is represented by an inexpressible and difficult to overcome fear of diseases, bacteria and viruses, fueled by the media, but also by doctors. The most exposed to drugs are pregnant women and children.
Even if they say and hear things like some drugs are good during pregnancy, expectant mothers should know that most of the drugs on the market have not been tested on pregnant women, so their safety during pregnancy is not 100% recognized. Moreover, the human immune system is extremely complex and is not fully understood even today.
Journalistic, but especially medical, literature has demonstrated in recent years that the pharmaceutical industry is among the most profitable businesses in the world. Any medical professional must ask themselves whether or not a drug has been prescribed improperly, just to make a profit, and if it is possible that the side effects outweigh the benefits that the drug may have.
It is best for a pregnant woman to avoid vaccination and medication during pregnancy at all costs. These can aggravate her condition, but especially the condition of the fetus, which is already “bombarded” by the noises and tumultuous life of the parents, but also by the too many ultrasounds during pregnancy.
The consumption of antibiotics, immunosuppressants or other drugs that can modify the immune system of the pregnant woman and implicitly of her fetus are totally prohibited. Here is a list of the most harmful drugs, which can cause serious problems in the correct and optimal development of the fetus.
Medicines prohibited during pregnancy – stay away from them no matter how bad it makes you feel!
Antidepressants can cause fetal tachycardia, breathing problems and urinary retention. Even if moods during pregnancy can be melancholic, it is good to stay away from antidepressants. There are many absolutely natural and safe alternatives to remove depressive states.
Estrogen hormones, androgenic and anabolic steroids can cause various uterine malformations, can produce feminization of the male fetus and can cause other malformations. It is also good to avoid oral contraceptives or other antiepileptic drugs, which can produce craniovascular malformations, malformations of nails and fingers.
Also sulfonamides (biseptrin), quinolones (ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin), doxycillin, antithyroid drugs, coumarin anticoagulants that can cause bleeding (acenocoumarol, warfain), aspirin, morphine and aminoglycosides, such as gentomycin.
Although there is a tendency to put vitamin A on this list, which is totally prohibited during the beginning of pregnancy, it can be administered towards the end of pregnancy. Be careful, however, that vitamin A medicines or supplements use natural vitamin A (the one found in fish oil), not the synthetic form. It can be administered very well in the third trimester of pregnancy, when there is no question of malformations. Vitamin A is very good for the development of the skin, bones, brain and immune system.
Medicines prohibited during pregnancy and the natural alternative
Instead, eating natural, non-GMO foods can contribute to a problem-free pregnancy. Iodized salt is totally contraindicated, and vitamin and mineral supplements are absolutely not necessary, especially since most of the ones on the market contain many chemicals that can endanger the optimal development of the fetus.
