“My doctor says it’s safe, but Google says it’s not… what do I do?” It’s the reality so many pregnant and breastfeeding moms face when they’re given conflicting medication advice. In this episode, consulting pharmacist Dr. Danielle Plummer and clinical pharmacist Dr. Tara Birch pull back the curtain on pregnancy medication confusion and why it happens. As Tara puts it, “Pharmacists need to be utilized more than they are. We are medication specialists.” The core message is clear: every mom needs a pharmacist as part of her care team. From preconception through the postpartum period, pharmacists bring the medication expertise that is often missing and can prevent confusion, errors, and unnecessary risk. From the overwhelm of choosing a prenatal vitamin to navigating mixed messages from providers and “Dr. Google,” they walk through what’s actually happening behind the scenes and how to make safer, more confident decisions. You’ll hear why “there is no one-size-fits-all prenatal vitamin,” how postpartum needs can increase during breastfeeding, and why a truly collaborative care team leads to better outcomes for both mom and baby. If you’ve ever second-guessed a medication, felt confused by conflicting advice, or wished you had a clear, trusted voice guiding you, this conversation will change how you approach your care. What You’ll Learn: - Why pharmacists are underused in maternal care - How to handle conflicting medication advice - How to choose the right prenatal vitamin - Why postpartum nutrition matters - The risks of relying on Google or AI for medication decisions - How collaborative care improves outcomes Expert Insights: - Pharmacists in Maternal Care: Pharmacists are medication experts but are often excluded from care teams. Including them improves safety and outcomes. - Conflicting Advice: Patients often receive mixed guidance from providers. Pharmacists help clarify evidence-based decisions. - Prenatal Vitamins: Not one-size-fits-all. Needs vary by diet, genetics, and symptoms. - Postpartum Nutrition: Nutrient needs may increase after delivery, especially during breastfeeding. - Gaps in Care: Hospital care is collaborative. Outpatient care is fragmented, creating safety risks. - Preconception Planning: Medication review before pregnancy can prevent first-trimester risks.

TWIRx News: The FDA plans to remove 12 peptide bulk drug substances from Category 2 of the Section 503A compounding list after their nominations were withdrawn. For compounders, the key issue is that this change does not automatically make compounding these substances permissible, leaving pharmacies exposed to ongoing regulatory uncertainty until the FDA makes further decisions. A nationwide Class II recall has been issued for Xanax XR 3 mg tablets in 60-count bottles, lot 8177156, after the product failed dissolution testing. Pharmacists should immediately locate and quarantine affected stock while reminding patients not to stop benzodiazepine therapy suddenly without direction from a healthcare provider. Community pharmacies are taking on a larger role in wound care by serving as an accessible first point of contact for patients with minor injuries. Pharmacists can help assess wounds, recommend appropriate over-the-counter treatment, watch for warning signs of complications, and refer patients for higher-level care when needed. Special sponsor interview with Allison Arant with Clearway Health. Featured interview with the World's Leading Innovation Theorist John Nosta Guests & sponsors of today's TWIRx, Perigon 360 Pharmacy with Chris Antypas PharmD and ed Mills And a bonus interview with Dr. Andy Krut PharmD, on Psychedelics (e.g., LSD, psilocybin, DMT)
