Doc wrote a medicine and i saw category B written somewhere when i googled. Matlab kya hota hai ye, is it the safe one? bit confused, anyone knows about these categories?
Category B medicines are generally considered quite safe and they are widely prescribed during pregnancy. But my dear, never self-medicate. Always check with your gynac before popping even a simple pill.
Actually category B is safe only, most pregnancy-safe antibiotics are in this category yaar. But honestly, why take any risk? Just text your doctor and ask once before taking it, peace of mind is important.
Oh God, I used to check FDA categories of every single tablet and stress so much! Category B is usually safe as animal studies showed no risk, but please call your clinic just to be 100% sure. Better safe than sorry!
I was reading about medicine safety recently while planning. It seems Category B is what doctors usually prefer when we need meds. Let us know what your doctor says, it's good to learn.
My gynac prescribed a Category B medicine for my cold and it worked fine without any issues. However, since every pregnancy is different, I always recommend asking your own doctor instead of going by online lists.
