Can a expected pregnancy lady can take cephalexin?
My doc gave me this for a throat infection but i just found out im prob pregnant, missed period since 5 days. Thoda tension ho raha hai now, should i still take it or wait till i confirm? Will call my gynac but wanted to ask if anyone has taken it.
Aise medications bina prescription ke nahi lena chahiye during pregnancy. Merko bhi cold throat infection hua tha, toh home remedies work nahi kiye and I had to call my doc. Unho ne safe options likh ke diye simple plain paper pe, so better check with your gynac once.
Oh I felt so nervous when I got a bad cough and doctor gave me antibiotics, but I only took what my doctor specifically wrote down. Please don't take any random pills right now even if it worked before. I felt it is always better to be 100% sure for baby's sake na.
Honestly, cephalexin is an antibiotic so u really shouldn't take it without your doctor's okay. I remember needing antibiotics for a UTI during my time, and my gynac prescribed it after checking everything. Please just call your clinic and confirm first na, don't self medicate.
Actually, cephalexin is usually considered safe in pregnancy, but you absolutely need the right dosage prescribed by your doc first. Being married to a doctor has taught me never to guess with antibiotics, especially now. Just call your gynac's assistant and get a quick prescription.
My hospital staff was super strict about this, they literally gave me a list saying no OTC medicines at all. When I had a bad urinary tract infection, I just WhatsApped my consultant at Cloudnine and they shared the exact safe dosage. Better to call your hospital reception and ask them to connect u to your doctor.
