I just found out that I'm pregnant. Are there some medicines I can't take now?

Yes, there are many medicines to avoid during pregnancy. Even common over-the-counter (OTC) medicines might be off-limits because of possible effects on a developing baby. Some prescription medicines also can cause problems, as can herbal remedies and supplements.
Talk with your doctor:
Be sure to tell any other health care providers you see that you're pregnant.
