antibiotics

Avatar f tn im assuming your Dr was aware that your pregnant when he prescribed them? just saying there are different kinds of antibiotics and some are considered safe while preg and others are avoided...
Avatar f tn m not sure about azithromycin there are safe antibiotics but not all are safe to take during pregnancy. Do not take anything without asking or seeing your Dr.
Avatar f tn 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...
Avatar f tn My doctor said no diflucan, nursing moms can take but not safe during pregnancy. Not sure why? But he/she could definitely prescribe something. I would go ahead and call so you can go ahead and start the medication as soon as possible tho, that way chances are less likely of still having it when you deliver.
Avatar n tn Doxycyclene is safe for the queen, but not her developing fetuses or nursing babies. They do not have viable immune systems yet and any antibiotic could result in abortion, still births, or deformities. The purpose of any antibiotics is to kill bacteria but it is non discriminatory. That is it kills both the bacteria cause the queen's URI as well as beneficial bacteria needed for the kittens to grown and develop.
9771234 tn?1405793808 Most antibiotics are safe during pregnancy. If you told your primary Dr that you were pregnant they would've chosen meds safe for you. I've been on them twice so far and I'm almost 29 weeks and baby is great.
1472764 tn?1287588186 When I had pneumonia with my daughter, I was on antibiotics to clear it up and everything was fine. I was just put on amoxicillin for a dental infection. Both amoxicillin and the medication in your z-pack (I'm assuming that is what you are taking?) are both Pregnancy Category B and considered safe during pregnancy. I even specifically asked my Pharmacist and she assured me it is safe.
Avatar f tn I took keflex and it made me break out in hives due to my pregnancy some antibiotics are safe during pregnancy that's one of them
Avatar n tn As mentioned above, alot of antibiotics are safe to take during pregnancy.If you are still worried, talk to your OB/Gyn about it.
Avatar f tn I would just call the office to be safe and tell them you are pregnant and want to know if the antibiotic prescribed for you is safe during pregnancy. I expect that it is as most are but it would be best to run it by your doctor You can go online and look up the drug's package insert and labeling pertaining to pregnancy as well. good luck and I hope you feel better.
Avatar f tn Your doctor should prescribe you something safe for your pregnancy...not saying that thats not safe because I'm not sure but when I had a UTI I got prescribed amoxcycillon..i think thats how u spell it..the reassured me it was safe for my baby. You can ask your doctor...he/she should know. If your not sure about using it ask for something else?
Avatar f tn Yes, my Dr gave me antibiotics for uti...I have had 2 so far during my pregnancy...yuck!
Avatar f tn Has anyone bn in antibiotics during pregnancy? If so how far along were you? Had anyone taken azithromax 250??
Avatar n tn We use it alot in our nursing home and its perfectly safe, in the UK the doc would prescribe it so u can get it free (prescriptions are free during pregnancy). It might just help u keep ur calorie count up while ur havin morning sickness....
214607 tn?1287677559 I know for a fact there are many antibiotics that are safe during pregnancy. Infact had to take some in the beginning for a uti, and bronchitis, i was hospitalized.
Avatar f tn Is metronidazole safe during pregnancy??...I had some smelly discharge so I went to see a doc nd they found out I had bacteria overgrowth nd that's wat they gave me that...has anyone taken it before??
Avatar n tn If you were my patient, I would advise you that most antibiotics are safe to take during pregnancy. Cough syrup is usually safe too, although you want to avoid those with alcohol. You were so very early that there is a good possibility that the baby had not even implanted in the uterus yet, at the time you took the medications--if so, the baby would not have even been exposed, so no harm done. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Most antibiotics are safe to take during pregnancy, and that is one of them. The risk of am active infection is much worse. Take the antibiotics.
Avatar f tn Many anti-biotics are safe to use during pregnancy. Just make sure your doctor knows you are pregnant and will keep that in mind when prescribing which anti-biotic you'll use. Take care.
