Advice on Vitamins

Folic acid plays an essential role in the development of your baby, right from the very first weeks of life.  

To make sure your body has a sufficient supply of folic acid when you do get pregnant, it is important to start taking folic acid supplements before you conceive. Ideally, you should start taking a supplement at least three months before stopping contraception. 

Talk to your pharmacist before choosing a product.

Advice on Medication

Some medication should be avoided during pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding because they can be harmful to the baby, even in small amounts.  

Before taking any medication if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your pharmacist to know more about potential adverse effects. 

If your little one is in need of OTC medication, your pharmacist can offer advice on the best way to administer it for your baby’s safety. 

Pregnancy-Related Symptoms

Nausea and acid reflux are common side effects pregnant women may experience. While they’re usually not serious, they can be pretty unpleasant.
