I have an infection and my doctor suggested Cloxacillin. I'm also pregnant and very cautious about any medications. Is Cloxacillin considered safe to take during pregnancy, or are there any risks I should be aware of?
I had a skin infection in my eighth month and my doctor gave me cloxacillin for 5 days. My baby was born perfectly healthy last month, so it is quite safe. Just make sure you finish the full course as your doctor advised.
I was prescribed an antibiotic once and I spent three hours googling all side effects and crying. Cloxacillin is generally considered safe, but please check with your gynac first. Don't take it just because someone online said it's okay, the peace of mind you get from your doc is best.
Don't worry, doctors won't give you anything that will make your baby grow a third arm! If your doctor prescribed it, it is definitely safe for you. Just swallow the pill with lots of water and stop reading horror stories on the internet!
Cloxacillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic which is usually considered safe during pregnancy, but only your doctor can evaluate if it is necessary for your infection. Dosages and timing are critical. Please consult your obstetrician before taking any dosage.
I can't say if it is safe for everyone, but my doctor did prescribe it to me for a urinary tract infection during my second trimester. I didn't face any issues at all. It's always best to just follow your own doctor's prescription.
