Everyday examples
When this tool may come in handy
Checking the packet at home
You know the product name and use the packaging to find the active ingredient before searching.

Good to know
Clear records, clear boundaries
- The catalog is general information, not a prescription, diagnosis or personal assessment. Always check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking a medicine during pregnancy.
- Search by active ingredient: a brand can contain more than one ingredient, and formulations can differ between products and countries.
- Do not start, stop or change a prescribed treatment or dose on the basis of this tool; an untreated condition can also pose a risk.
Momminess helps you record and organize personal information. It does not diagnose, interpret urgent symptoms, or replace a doctor, midwife, emergency service, or other qualified professional. Seek professional help whenever you are concerned.
