Recently pregnant women take more drugs than before due to the trend of increasing maternal
age. Though most drugs are safe, a small percentage of them may have unintended adverse
consequences for either mother or child. So any unnecessary drug should not be given to
pregnant women; however, when necessary, some medications cannot be withheld. Counseling
for drugs during pregnancy is one of most important and difficult tasks of obstetricians. Most drugs
are classified FDA category C, and there are many new drugs that have not been categorized yet.
In addition, many drugs in category X are not absolutely contraindicated during pregnancy, and
several drugs in category C or D are clear human teratogens. In this article, the author introduces
drugs that we can use for common illnesses during pregnancy available in Korea.
