I've been feeling unwell with a bacterial infection and my doctor prescribed Augmentin. I'm also pregnant, so I'm a bit concerned. Can Augmentin be safely used during pregnancy, or should I ask for an alternative? I just want to ensure my baby is safe.
Having gone through IVF, I was terrified of taking even a paracetamol. My doctor did prescribe me Augmentin for a sinus infection later, but only after weighing all safety aspects. Please discuss your symptoms with your doctor so they can give you the safest option.
I'm planning my pregnancy right now and also wonder about what medicines are safe. I had no idea antibiotics like Augmentin could be questionable. Will definitely ask my doctor about safe alternatives during my preconception visit.
Listen, never play doctor when you are pregnant. Augmentin is an antibiotic and only your doctor can decide if you actually need it and what dosage is safe. Stop searching on Google, call your gynac's clinic, and ask them clearly.
My doctor actually prescribed me Augmentin for a severe dental infection during my second trimester, and it was perfectly safe. 😊 But please don't take it on your own! Always call your gynac to confirm if it is safe for your specific week of pregnancy. Take care! 👍
Please do not take Augmentin or any antibiotic without your gynac's direct prescription. Even if a general physician prescribed it, double-check with your gynac first. Self-medicating during pregnancy can be very risky for the baby.
