Women's health podcast series: update on medication use in pregnancy
from The Check-up
Medication use in younger patients is increasingly common, and often patients will be using medications such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, topical retinoids, and antidepressants in the lead-up to pregnancy. In this episode, Associate Professor Debra Kennedy, Director of Mothersafe, provides expert guidance on navigating decisions about continuing or stopping these medications in the preconception and antenatal periods. We will cover practical advice on managing commonly used medications — from SSRIs and epilepsy treatments to everyday remedies for nausea, cold symptoms, and reflux. This essential update equips GPs to confidently support their patients in medication management throughout pregnancy.
