Stay Alert for Pregnant Moms Looking for Pain or Fever Meds

December 2020

Expectant moms will ask how to treat pain or fever...because of new warnings about NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, etc) in pregnancy.

Product monographs already warn against NSAID use at 30 weeks or later in pregnancy...due to the risk of heart problems in the unborn baby.

Now Health Canada recommends avoiding NSAIDs at 20 weeks or later while they investigate safety concerns.
