I have a bad UTI and an old strip of this medicine is lying at home from before. Im 6 weeks pregnant so im scared to take anything without asking. Im planning to call my gynac but wanted to know if any of you were prescribed this during pregnancy.
I honestly don't want to give any medical advice on this since medicines can be so sensitive. When I had a bad urinary infection during my pregnancy, I only took what my gynac prescribed. Please check with your doctor directly.
According to medical research, ciprofloxacin is generally avoided during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary. My doctor explained that certain antibiotics can affect the baby's bone and joint development. Please consult your gynac before taking even a single tablet.
No, please do not self-medicate with ciprofloxacin. It's a strong antibiotic and many of them are not safe for the baby. Please call your gynac immediately and show them your symptoms so they can give a safe alternative.
Ciprofloxacin is typically not the first choice during pregnancy as it belongs to a class of drugs that can have risks for fetal development. You need a pregnancy-safe antibiotic. Get in touch with your doctor today to change the prescription safely.
