The use od medication during pregnancy implies risk and benefit assessment for both baby and the mother. Avoidance of medication use can put both to risk. On the other hand, unnecessary overuse of medication during pregnancy poses a potential embrio/fetal development risk. Inappropriate use of medication without supervision of a health care professional may increase the risk of an adverse pregnancy outcome. Suitable counseling with the health care professional (a pharamacist) about the OTC (Over The Counter, nonprescription drug) and deitary supplements's use may increase the chances of positive outcomes of medical treatments and prevent potential maternal and fetal risks. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of nonprescription drug and dietery supplements use during pregnancy, aswell as to evaluate women's beliefs and knowledge about it. Data for this study was collected using an anonymous questionnaire with 80 pregnant women. The results of this study show that 31.3 % of the subjects used self-medication before pregnancy, and during pregnancy the number increased to 36.3 %. The most commonly used OTC drugs were paracetamol (40 % of subjects), topical clotrimazole (12.5 %), ibuprofen (7.5 %) and antacids (5 %). Pregnant women used them mostly against headaches, fungal infections and heartburn. Recommendations and advice are often given by gynecologists and pharmacists, and very rarely on social networks and online forums. Prenatal formulas in the form of dietary supplements were used by a large number of pregnant women, 77.5 % of them. Other dietary supplements, mostly magnesium, iron and vitamin C, were used by 35 % of respondents. Herbal preparations were used by a small number of respondents, 12.5 %, since they have the least information on the safety of their use. The study could confirm that risk perception of drug use during pregnancy is changing. 42.5 % of respondents disagree with the claim that drugs during pregnancy should be completely avoided, and 69 % think it is better for the unborn child to use drugs and get well than not to treat the illness. 92 % of respondents claim that it is advisable to consult a physician or pharmacist before using herbal preparations. With regard to the trust shown and given, and the willingness of pregnant women to be educated on selfmedication, pharmacists need to approach counseling during pregnancy with more confidence.
