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 FDA warnings about NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, etc) in pregnancy.

Now FDA recommends avoiding NSAIDs at 20 weeks or later...and Rx and OTC labels will be updated.
