FDA extends pregnancy warning for common pain 21

WASHINGTON - Pregnant women should avoid a group of common pain relievers, including Advil and Aleve, during the last four months of pregnancy, federal health officials said last week, extending the warning by three months.

The Food and Drug Administration has said fever and pain medications can cause a rare but serious complication that can harm the fetus. They can cause kidney problems in the fetus which can cause low levels of amniotic fluid to fill the uterus.

 

The warning applies to a family of anti-inflammatory drugs that include both over-the-counter ingredients like ibuprofen and prescription drugs like Celebrex. Pills and tablets are among the most widely taken drugs in the United States and include hundreds of generic cold, flu, and sleep medications that often combine multiple pharmaceutical ingredients.
