My New Online Shop

After covid-19, economy has been very bad and my boss had sold all his pharmacy biz to a big chain pharmacy. I was down for few months and can feel the pinch too. During the post-covid and pre-GST transition period, everything become so expensive and it becomes a burden to our life especially those with family. After a few thoughts, i decided to open up my online biz where you guys can get everything easily online and at cheaper and more affordable price.

Drugs safe in pregnancy & breastfeeding

 Breastfeeding while Pregnant: Is it Safe?

Since the past decade, i works as a community pharmacy in Malaysia, many walk-in customers coming asking for medicines safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding. We have to be very careful in prescribing medicines to these group of patients as most of the medicines are under Category C, D & X where these drugs are not suitable in pregnancy use.

To make it simplify, we as a pharmacist got to refer to The MIMS Pregnancy Safety Index.

 

Definition of risks factors

As defined by US FDA, drugs in categories D, X and some cases C may pose some risks to foetus.

Category A: Controlled studies have not demonstrated a foetal risk. (in other words, VERY SAFE)

Category B: In animal-reproduction studies have not demonstrated a foetal risk but there are no controlled studies in pregnant women.

Category C: Studies in animals have revealed adverse effects on foetal.

Category D: There is positive evidence of human foetal risk

Category X: Studies in animals or human beings have demonstrated foetal abnormalities. (In other words, the drug is contraindicated in pregnant women).


Below are the summary of the drugs that are commonly prescribed by pharmacists.
