antibiotics

Avatar f tn I can't say for sure because there are different types of antibiotics and different dosages, etc. But I can tell you that in my last pregnancy I needed to take antibiotics for a tooth problem and it didn't seem to effect that pregnancy. My son just turned 1 yr and seems prefect to me. ;-) I was really worried about it too but I didn't really have a choice. I needed the meds. Thankfully everything turned out well.
Avatar f tn Macrobid is the safest antibiotic durning pregnancy... It has no side effects during pregnancy, I took it when I was 5weeks and the Dr, so the pharmacy tech advice it was safe!!!
Avatar f tn t done much testing on it but that what they have done leads them to believe there will be no adverse side effects and that it is better for you to take the meds if needed in pregnancy then not take them.
Avatar f tn m sure you are fine to take it. With all medicines there are a small amount of risks or side effects that can happen. If they do happen just discontinue taking the meds. I personally think you will be just fine, try not to over think things and get anxious about it. It's bad for you and baby.
Avatar n tn she has been on norocin antibiotics for two and a half weeks, starting four to five days approximately after the end of her last menstruation, because of a urinary system infection. a few days ago she thought her mensturation started. but she only had a few drops of blood and then nothing. I am strongly concerned about a pregnancy. when she was diagnosed and given norocin, she also had a blood pregnancy test which came negative.
Avatar f tn I am hoping that I do not have to take them at all during this pregnancy as with my 8 year old I had to take them in 3rd trimester due to kidney infection and just recently my daughter had a water infection, two different antibiotics did not work for her, luckily the third cleared it up, I am worried my daughter has become immune to certain antibiotics due to me taking them in my pregnancy, it might not be that but it did put me off but it f you need them then there is nothing you can do
Avatar f tn If you are just curious about the side effects of a medication your doctor prescribed, you can go to drugs.com and type in the drug for the side effects.
Avatar f tn You're blood test MIGHT be able to test from now! But wait untill you miss your period to take a HPT! Use first morning urine as it is better. Some bodies take more time to produce HCG! But a blood test might be morre acurate at this stage! I dont know bout the Antibitotics! Sorry!
Avatar f tn I was prescribed Cephalexin for 7 days for a mild UTI, but i am very worried and skeptical about taking antibiotics, any of you have taken antibiotics? Or no anything about the risks? Thank you so much ladies!
20922415 tn?1661860103 Estrogen is the hormone that stimulates the growth of the uterine lining (endometrium), causing it to thicken during the pre-ovulatory phase of the cycle. One of progesterone's most important functions is to cause the endometrium to secrete special proteins during the second half of the menstrual cycle, preparing it to receive and nourish an implanted fertilized egg. If implantation does not occur, estrogen and progesterone levels drop, the endometrium breaks down and menstruation occurs.
Avatar m tn So I went back to the doctor for a physical and Blood test. Also had an ECG. According to the doc, Everything is fine, glucose, iron, platelets... The only concerns was my LDL, which was a little elevated but my Vitamin D level was very Low. The doctor told me to just get some Vitamin D supplements (2000 UI). As for the symptoms, My stool is still yellow, but it goes back and forth, occasionally to a normal color... I'm still eating plain pro biotic yogurt, before any meals in the morning.
Avatar f tn I think that the same thing may have happened to me. Though I finished my antibiotics (keflex) in the end of august and and been pretty sick ever since. When i fist got sick i was violently ill, couldn't eat or drink for weeks, and had to go to the ER. Now I just have constant stomach discomfort and occasionally diarrhea.
Avatar f tn I was on antibiotics at the beginning of my pregnancy and then only due to my sinusitis not getting any better did I find out that I was pregnant. I was so worried about potential side effects but I was on penicillin which is fine during pregnancy. Your doctor will prescribe an antibiotic which is then safe to take during pregnancy, there are numerous which are safe to use when pregnant.

The harmful effects usually start to show after 10 to 14 days’ use and the incidence rate is approximately 5 to 10%.

These conditions are often considered allergic reactions since the incidence rate is not very high. 3. Chloramphenicolum family.
715068 tn?1392933532 This is what I found on womenshealth . gov Most medicines should not affect the results of a home pregnancy test (HPT). This includes over-the-counter and prescription medicines, including birth control pills and antibiotics. After brief googling, basically because the test is only looking for the presence of HCG, antibiotics shouldn't effect it. Howver, one person in one forum said to look up your Rx just to be sure.
Avatar n tn do you think this could be bacterial or result of the virus? Should i go get antibiotics tomorrow, or just wait it out? As of now i have swollen neck glands, and both tonsils are swollen, although one much more than the other. That one is pussing, secreteing stones, and very red and swollen.
Avatar f tn I was taking amoxicllin at first and just got told to stop taking it and got switched to arythomycin cuz I have what they believe to be the start of bronchitis. Now as a result im starting to get diarrhea is there anything I cam do to help stop the diarrhea?
Avatar n tn anyways the problem and symptoms went away on there own but now have retured and i am supossed to be taking another round of antibiotics same ones. so i was very worried about taking them again. so anyway i did start them again last sunday. after 1 day my discomfort was gone but i could really feel that i was very shaky and nervous i think from pills. buy wensday newyears eve i had been taking them for 4 days.
Avatar f tn Every infection is caused by a specific strain of bacteria. Some antibiotics are going to work better on different strains of bacteria. Bactrim IS used for UTI's and if it has worked before, why would your doctor not prescribe it? But again, if you are pregnant, it is pregnancy category C. Okay, wait, I see you are 52. We are not talking pregnancy here, right? By all means, you shouldn't have to take Macrobid if you don't feel it is a good choice for you.
Avatar f tn Yes, i can assure u the infection is worse for baby than antibiotics, there is a list of anti biotics safe to take during pregnancy.
1472764 tn?1287588186 I've finally broken down and taken the antibiotics. Temp was 100.2 today. 10 days of azythromyocin. 1 pill a day. Dr. said its safe for pregnancy. I'm also taking probiotics to counteract yeast. Has anyone else been in this situation? Was your pregnancy and baby okay? I'm so worried.
5915949 tn?1396188227 And i just finished a different course of antibiotics for a uti. Both meds were class b drugs. The benefits def. outweighed the risks for me. But its up to you and whatever you decide.
Avatar m tn this is very common from antibiotics. no reason to go to a doctor for it. increase your fiber intake - eat lots of fresh fruit and whole grains. they will help absorb the extra fluid in the bowel. if you like yogurt, eat 2-3 containers of it a day. If you don't like yogurt, stop by walmart , cvs etc and pick up culturelle. it's a probiotic that replaces the "good" bacteria in your bowel that the antibiotics have killed off. it'll help the runs stop faster too .
