Please, please do not take albendazole if you are expecting. Certain medicines can be really risky in early stages. Please speak to your doctor immediately for safe options.

Do not take albendazole if you are trying to conceive or are pregnant. It can be harmful for the baby. Go to your doctor and get a safe prescription.

Haan na, please medicine khud se mat lena. Always better to ask your doctor if you are expecting. Safe rehna sabse important hai ho na.

Mahalakshmi Saha · Answer

I wouldn't advise taking albendazole if you are expecting or planning. Please consult your doctor first, they might suggest a safer alternative if you have an infection.

I once almost took a normal tablet by mistake and panicked so much! But then my doc said always ask them first. Please double check with your gynac before taking albendazole.

Suvarna Rana · Answer

Please don't take any such medicines without asking your doctor. Even for simple food adjustments I had to be so careful during my gestational diabetes, so medication is a strict no without gynac's nod.

I totally understand wanting to clear up any health issues before the baby arrives, dear. But please talk to your doctor before taking this medicine to keep your precious little one safe. Hugs to you.

Oh god, please avoid taking deworming tablets on your own while expecting. Just eat clean, well-cooked food to avoid stomach bugs, and call your doctor if you feel unwell!
