Meds to avoid handling while pregnant.

Hello all,
I am not pregnant yet (but hopefully soon!), but I have been unable to find a list of meds to avoid handling while pregnant.I have done multiple searches online, with no luck. I am working in short term rehab and it seems like I have come across a couple of meds lately that have the warning. I already know about avodart, proscar and chemo drugs. Thanks in advance
just wear gloves for them all if it is a concern

Oh crap.. I know of one. I don't remember the name. Its a leukemia drug that one of my patients is on. I will try to search it and get back to you with the name.

Here's a list, hope this helps http://www.uic.edu/pharmacy/services...dous_drugs.php

flomax is a common one. just always wear gloves, like a PP says.

Proscar.

Quote from April, RNAre you thinking of Ribavirin? It's another med to avoid while pregnant.

Quote from cebuana_nurseFlomax? Proscar? Holy cow! So if in case I get pregnant, I'm not allowed to hold a single capsule of these meds? I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

Are these meds that pregnant women can't handle at all or handle without gloves.

i"m not trying to blow your post off and be general, but our pharmacy has labels with any med that can be "toxic if handled". These meds are for everyone, so possibly you can get the pharmacy to join in the joint commission standards of label warning to staff. This will save them from later issues. The "do not handle" ones from the literature I've briefly read, all cover pregnancy... they cover everyone.Perhaps a facility policy change is needed to upgrade to the standards?And congratulations... best of health for both of you
