Pregnancy medication hotline?

[Jaycee]

Hi ladies
Does anyone know what the phone number is for the medication hotline?

I have an appointment tonight for laser tattoo removal (which I know is safe during pregnancy), however my question is am I able to use the numbing cream that I usually put on the area an hour before the appointment. It's called lignacane (not sure of the spelling though)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Not sure if this will help but:

The National Prescribing Service's Medicines Line 1300 888 763 (9 am to 6 pm AEST for the cost of a local call). This is the only national telephone service in Australia that provides confidential, independent information about prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines and complementary medicines, including herbal and natural remedies

I always find that pharmacists know more about what's safe during pregnancy than doctor's do - when I was preg I would just ring up any chemist and ask to speak to the pharmacist. They don't mind and they're alot easier to get hold of than a doctor
