Can taking medication during pregnancy cause a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

It is said that the early stages of pregnancy are a very important period, and we cannot take medicine when we are sick. But I really couldn't bear it anymore, so I took some cold medicine. I don't know if it will be a problem. Taking medicine during pregnancy! Will it cause a miscarriage? Suddenly, I feel very scared, hoping that the baby is okay.

Doctor's answer:

It's not necessarily the case. If you catch a cold in the early stages of pregnancy, it might be because the cold virus itself can have some impact on the embryo, potentially leading to malformations, delayed fetal development, or low birth weight. Even if you take medication, it's important to pay attention to prenatal check-ups. If any abnormalities are detected, it's best to address them promptly. The above suggestions can be used for reference.
