Question:
I am 9 weeks pregnant and very sick. I went to hospital 2x due to being so dehydrated. My doctor prescribed Reglan and Protonix. He says they are both safe during pregnancy. I am very concerned. Do you have any research and answers about these drugs and pregnancy?
Answer:
Both of these drugs Reglan(metoclopramide) and
Protonix(pantoprazole) have been studied quite
extensively in pregnancy and have been found to be
safe to use. In every pregnancy there is always a risk
for having a baby with a major malformation(1-3%) and
neither of these drugs increased that risk.
