I am currently taking Vyvanse for my ADHD and Biacna for my acne (cream). Do I absolutely need to stop taking these if I am trying to get pregnant, or can I stop them only when I find out I am pregnant?

It is recommended to stop taking Vyvanse and Biacna before trying to conceive to reduce the risk to the baby, as both medications can pose a risk during pregnancy. Additionally, taking a folic acid supplement (0.4mg) for at least 3 months before getting pregnant can help reduce the risk of neural tube defects. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to medication or starting a new supplement regimen.
