I had to be very careful with medicines due to my PCOS and pregnancy risks. Always double-check with your doctor before taking any antibiotic.

I was prescribed this for a throat infection. Just make sure to tell your doctor about any other health issues or medications you are taking.

Haan, doctors prescribing it say it's safe, but khud se mat lena na. Gynac se pooch kar hi khana.

I know how scary it is to take any medicine during this time. Please trust your doctor, as untreated infections can be worse than the medicine itself.

Kalpana Bhattacharya · Answer

It is generally considered safe if prescribed by your doctor for an infection. But please do not self-medicate, only take what your gynac wrote down.

My doctor gave me this for a UTI during my second pregnancy and it was perfectly fine. Just complete the full course as prescribed.
