Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Eno can be taken during pregnancy but only when required and not more than once in a day. There are many medicines which can cause variable risk to fetus during pregnancy. Some medicines are given with caution after evaluating risk and benefit. Giving you complete list of such medicines is difficult,however you may like to ask should you be taking any particular medicine.

There is categorization of medicines for use in pregnancy followed by FDA.

Category A
Adequate and well-controlled studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus in the first trimester of pregnancy (and there is no evidence of risk in later trimesters).

Category B
Animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.

Category C
Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks.

Category D
There is positive evidence of human fetal risk based on adverse reaction data from investigational or marketing experience or studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks.

Category X
Studies in animals or humans have demonstrated fetal abnormalities and/or there is positive evidence of human fetal risk based on adverse reaction data from investigational or marketing experience, and the risks involved in use of the drug in pregnant women clearly outweigh potential benefits.

Category N
FDA has not classified the drug.

Hope your query is answered.
