<span style="font-weight: 400;">If you are taking medications for any long term conditions, do not stop taking them or change the dose without talking to your GP first. If you’re not sure about the safety of certain medications, talk to your GP or local pharmacist. Many medications are safe when breastfeeding but talk to your GP who can confirm or recommend a safe alternative.</span>
<span>Your GP can provide you with a signed form for a maternity exemption certificate. This will entitle you to free NHS prescriptions up to one year after the birth of your baby.</span>
