Metoclopramide has long been used in all stages of pregnancy with no evidence of harm to the mother or foetus. [24] A large cohort study of babies born to Israeli women exposed to metoclopramide during pregnancy found no evidence that the drug increases the risk of congenital malformations, low birth weight, preterm birth, or perinatal ...
[11] [12] By contrast, Australian guidelines consider domperidone to be the preferred galactagogue when non-pharmacological approaches have proved insufficient. [7] Unlike metoclopramide, domperidone does not cross the blood–brain barrier and does not tend to have adverse effects such as drowsiness or depression. [7]
The role for these products is between just the use of simple analgesics (paracetamol or ibuprofen) and the triptan class of drugs; although the latter are not options during pregnancy. [7] In the elderly although triptans are generally avoided, so too are antiemetics such as metoclopramide due to higher risks of side effects.
[16] [17] In pregnancy, paracetamol and metoclopramide are deemed safe as are NSAIDs until the third trimester. [12] Intravenous metoclopramide is also effective by itself. [18] [19] Several NSAIDs, including diclofenac and ibuprofen, have evidence to support their use. [20] [21] Ibuprofen provides effective pain relief in about 50%. [22]
Cannabis use during pregnancy should be avoided. [80] There is no known safe dose of cannabis while pregnant and use of cannabis may lead to birth defects, pre-term birth, or low birth weight. [80] Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), an active ingredient in cannabis, can both cross the placenta and accumulates in high concentrations in breast milk. [81]
