I had fever and the doctor mentioned malaria, someone in family suggested this medicine. But im 10 weeks pregnant and dont want to take anything random. Has anyone been told about this by their gynac?
I know how stressful it is when you are sick and don't know what medicine is safe. But please, don't take this medicine on your own. It is really not recommended during pregnancy, so call your doc immediately to get a safe alternative.
Please step away from the medicine cabinet! Seriously, don't self-medicate with heavy drugs like primaquine right now. Call your doctor's clinic, even if they are annoyed with your calls, your safety comes first.
I had a lot of complications during my pregnancy, so I learned the hard way to never take any pill without checking. Primaquine can be very risky for the baby. Please consult your gynac right away before taking even a single dose.
Honestly, please do not take Primaquine or any malaria medicine without your gynecologist's prescription. Many of these medications are highly unsafe during pregnancy and can cause serious issues for the baby.
It's always better to be absolutely safe when it comes to medicines. Avoid taking primaquine on your own and let your doctor prescribe a safe option for you. Stay positive and get checked by your gynac soon!
