From 90\u2009days before pregnancy to 90\u2009days after delivery, all dispensed prescriptions for each full\u2010level ATC code were identified. The proportion of women, by year and age, with \u2265\u20091 dispensed medication was calculated, as well as the number of different medications and dispensed prescriptions of structural teratogens and specific medication groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, 1\u2009065\u2009593 (60.5%) women were dispensed \u2265\u20091 medication during pregnancy and 900\u2009536 (51.1%) within 3\u2009months postpartum. The proportion of women with \u2265\u20091 dispensed prescription in the postpartum period was stable but increased during pregnancy from 57.1% in 2007 to 67.5% in 2022, with the largest increase in women \u2265\u200940\u2009years. The proportion using \u2265\u20095 different medications increased, while the proportion with a recognized or suspected structural teratogen in the first trimester remained low (&lt;\u20091%). There was a notable decrease in the use of antibiotics and prescribed analgesics, and an increase in antiemetics, psychotropics, acetylsalicylic acid, anticoagulants, antihypertensives, and antidiabetics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Medication use during pregnancy in Sweden increased from 2007 to 2022, particularly among women \u2265\u200940\u2009years, while postpartum use remained stable.
