Pregnancy And Acne Medication
By CD Mohatta
During pregnancy, the hormones in the body undergo changes. That may cause acne during the early pregnancy. In later period acne often clears. Since you have to use every medication very carefully during pregnancy, let us find out about what cannot be used.
Some of the medications that are to be avoided during are: Vitamin A derivatives, Tetracyclin Antibiotics, Hormones and Salicylic acid preparations.
Vitamin A Derivatives:
Molecule such as Isotretinoin that is very potent for acne treatment must be totally avoided during, before, and after pregnancy. It may produce birth defects in the fetus and should never be taken during pregnancy. Other vitamin A topical molecules such as tretinoin, tazarotene, etc. carry warnings about their use during and while breast-feeding. They should also be avoided. Retinoids are becoming very popular and some cosmetics contain retinoids. Please use any skin care product only after consulting your doctor.
Tetracycline group of antibiotics:
Tetracycline and its derivatives such as doxycycline may affect the bone growth and discolor teeth of the fetus, and the breast-fed child. Avoid use of any antibiotic without consulting your doctor.
Hormone Therapy For Acne:
Female hormones are widely used to treat acne. Flutamide and Spironolactone may be passed to the fetus and cause birth defects. Estrogens and other anti androgens should not be used during pregnancy. It is yet not known if these hormones are passed to the breast-feeding child. They should therefore be avoided during breast-feeding. As a cautionary measure, during and while breast-feeding use every medication only after consulting your doctor.
