Im 18 weeks and have a bad throat infection. Before pregnancy this medicine was given to me. I will definitely confirm with my gynac before taking anything, but wanted to know if any of u were prescribed this during pregnancy.
Hey, don't stress too much, it is a very common antibiotic and usually safe during pregnancy. My doc gave me the same when I had a bad throat infection in my second trimester. Just make sure you call your gynac first before taking it, okay?
At my hospital, the doctors were extremely strict about self-medication during pregnancy. Amoxicillin clavulanate is usually safe, but you must consult your gynac or email your hospital’s pharmacy care team to get the exact safe dosage confirmed.
When I had a bad cough during my pregnancy at my mum's place, my mother insisted we ask the doctor before taking even a single tablet. The doctor did prescribe this antibiotic, but only after checking my week of pregnancy. Please do the same and consult your doc.
Having PCOS made me super cautious about every pill I took during pregnancy. While amoxicillin clavulanate is mostly prescribed safely for infections, I would highly recommend not taking any chances. Always get a green light from your doctor first.
According to most pregnancy trackers and safe-medicine databases, amoxicillin clavulanate is categorized as safe. But since every pregnancy is different, it is always best to double-check with your obstetrician before starting the course.
I completely get why you are worried, I used to check every single medicine's safety ten times because of my anxiety! This antibiotic is generally considered safe, but to calm your mind, just send a quick WhatsApp to your doctor and ask them directly.
