metronidazole use in pregnancy

I have just gotten off of meds for a horrible uti. I finished the meds yesterday. They are not to be taken during pregnancy. They are macrobid and metronidazole. Just found out I'm pregnant today and I'm super worried.

Went in for my normal check up and doc told me I have a bacterial Infection, She Prescribed me "Metronidazole". I was reading up on it and it says not to be used during pregnancy! Kind of worries me, any of u ladies ever had this stuff prescribed to u?

i think there is a slight risk of eptopic pregnancy but the risk is very small, so i see no gd reason to termanate the pregnancy unless you dont want a baby

Has anyone ever used oral metronidazole for a vaginal bacterial infection? I'm on my 5th of 7th day and have developed a very thick clear to cloudy mucousy discharge. Is this normal. I know the gel form will pull everything out in a thick white chunky discharge but does the oral pill.

I've had it a few times in my life and it is common in early pregnancy. In fact I had it with this pregnancy. When I went for my 2nd doc visit I was told it showed up on my pap. So they gave me the nasty meds for it but the doc didn't want me to take it until I hit the 13th week mark. So I had to take the meds till they were gone. I'm not sure why it happens but if I had to guess it would be from not showering after sex.

Ive taken it with my 2nd pregnancy. My son was fine. Just drink lots of water with it. Youll be okay.

I started taking metronidazole yesterday I took 2 pills that day... today I realized I haven't had my period this month.

I took the test a 3pm and both test were positive. so I stopped the pills.I was wondering if the medication made my test positive or am I really pregnant.take another prego test? & when?

I am 34 weeks pregnant and am very concerned about all these antibiotics (about 4) i took during my pregnancy, 3 were zithromycin z pack and one was metronidazole for bacterial vaginosis in my third trimester. For all these antibiotics, i received strong reassurance that they are safe to take to treat my common occuring respiratory infections. I am concerned. Is there anyone here who took many antbx during pregnancy and had a healthy child? AMEN...

Is there anyone who has had bv during their pregnancy ?

Some doctors prescribe pregnant women Metronidazole for treatment of bacterial vaginosis. As for the Ibuprofen, the 1 pill she took isn't going to hurt but they don't recommend continued use of Ibuprofen or Advil during pregnancy. They recommend Tylenol or Acetaminophen. I think your baby will be fine but if you are really concerned I suggest seeing an Obstetrician.

Pre-pregnancy I flushed with a small amount of boric acid...always got rid of it. Yeast and bv is simply a sign that your vaginal pH is off allowing growth of the wrong type of bacteria. I can't lie and said I didn't do it once or twice during pregnancy, but I don't know if it's recommended..although all my kids came out fine. I used to be able to purchase powdered boric acid at the pharmacy counter at Wal-Mart, walgreens, etc. ...

You can masturbate but if you use something like a vibrator, wash it thoroughly. :>) Agree too to use a condom as it can be passed back and forth.

While its not often given in early pregnancy (if possible its better to use nothing) it has not been shown to cause any adverse reactions in humans.

Hello, Gastritis, fluctuation in estrogen levels, heartburn, postnasal drip, dental caries, tooth abscess are few other causes of metallic taste in mouth. Intake of medications like metronidazole, blood pressure medications, and thyroid medications all can lead to this symptom apart from the causes mentioned by you. The associated symptoms may help in arriving at a diagnosis. Seek medical help. Take care and regards!

I have had yeast and bv infections my whole pregnancy. I just finished up another batch of metronidazole this week. Antibiotics can cause yeast infections in some women as well so have your doc prescribe flucanazole (spell check) to take after the metronidazole. It will most likely be a 7 day treatment. Mine got so bad this third trimester my va jay jay was swollen for a week. I am due with twins on Monday by c section.

Some of the treatment regimens use a medication called metronidazole (Flagyl) or clarithromycin (Biaxin). These medications can cause a metallic taste in the mouth. You will need to consult a gastroenterologist for adequate therapy. Regards.
