What should I do if I took a medication that is contraindicated for pregnant women?

Patient's question:

I got married to my wife not long ago, about a month. She was calculating when her period should come, but it never arrived. One morning, we woke up and did a careful test with morning urine using a pregnancy test strip. The control line and the test line both appeared clearly. We confirmed that we were pregnant!!! But suddenly, I remembered that the day before the test, we had just taken some medicine for coughing < >. I quickly found the medicine box to check the precautions!!! The result was the striking big words "Pregnant Women Forbidden"! I was very scared at that moment. I was thinking. If it had been "Pregnant Women Should Use with Caution" or "Contraindicated," it wouldn't have been

Doctor's answer:

Don't worry too much. Some banned drugs are only restricted because they can cause miscarriage or premature birth. It's better to go to the hospital if you have a headache or a fever in the future, and stop taking medicine randomly. Take good care of your wife in the future and try to make her happy.
