Pregnant and breastfeeding women often face a difficult decision when it comes to taking medication. However, there are safe options available that should not be overlooked. InfantRisk HCP is an app developed by researchers and clinicians to provide evidence-based information about medication safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The app features a drug rating system that ranges from safest to most hazardous for pregnancy or breastfeeding. It allows users to search over 70,000 medication products and find concise, evidence-based summaries for each product. Users can also easily compare safety ratings for drugs by indication or drug class. The app has a convenient user interface and monthly data updates.

For parents, there is another app called MommyMeds, which is written with the patient in mind. The app provides information on medication safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as information on common illnesses and their treatment. It also includes a feature that allows users to create a personalized list of medications that are safe to take during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The app is free to download and use.

It is important to note that the information provided by these apps is intended to supplement the knowledge of healthcare professionals regarding the use of medications during lactation and pregnancy. It is advisory only and is not intended to replace sound clinical judgment or individualized patient care. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should always consult with their healthcare provider before taking any medication.
