Clever's Answer
Modern medicines are themselves said not to be taken during pregnancy and lactation both.
But, for the convenience of the treatment; US FDA- United States Food and Drug Administration, has made a Pregnancy Safety Index.
In this the drugs are classified into Category A,B,C,D & X. where a category “A” is most safe and then the other goes up to category “X”.
If you want details they you may find this Index in any of the Drug Index like CIMS, Drug Today etc. your chemist can buy one for you.
Most of the chemist keeps one of it with them; to refer them, through different brandnames.
(Please do not use the drug index for your regular use as they are ment to help doctors and a general person using it may lead to a wrong conclusion.)
