I faced severe complications earlier due to taking unprescribed medicines. Please, never take this antibiotic without your doctor's green light.

Actually yaar, self-medicating with antibiotics during pregnancy is a big risk. Just give your doctor a quick call and ask them.

Please don't take Metronidazole without checking with your gynac first. I had a severe infection and panicked, but my doctor prescribed a safe alternative.
