Myth or Fact - Pregnancy and the Patch

Original Post by: Ashley - Health Educator

Myth: Pregnant women should not use nicotine gum or the patch.
Fact: NRT use may be considered for pregnant women who are unable to quit. However, as with all drugs used by pregnant women, NRT use during pregnancy should be closely monitored by the physician.

Hi Ashley, I had heard that also. I always thought it strange that experts would not recommend NRT to pregnant women. When they smoke they get nicotine anyway and a whole lot more! Thanks for clarifying the issue Ashley.
