Im 14 weeks and a doctor at a different clinic prescribed this for an infection before I told them im pregnant. Now im scared to take it. Has anyone been given this during pregnancy? I'll confirm with my gynac too but wanted to ask here.
For small issues like a mild throat infection, I prefer warm ginger water or turmeric milk. But if it's a serious infection needing antibiotics like cotrimoxazole, please don't self-medicate and consult your doctor immediately.
Pregnancy is already so expensive with all the tests and hospital visits, so we can't afford any health complications from wrong medicines. Please call your doctor and ask if this medicine is safe or if they can suggest a cheaper, safer option.
Antibiotics are not something you can just take like normal tablets. Please show the medicine to your doctor first and let them confirm if it's safe for your pregnancy stage.
I have no idea about this specific medicine, so I won't give any medical advice. I always showed all my prescriptions to my gynac before taking even a single dose, and I suggest you do the same.
I panicked when I accidentally took a pill before knowing I was pregnant, but my doctor reassured me after checking. If your doctor has specifically prescribed it, then only take it, otherwise please avoid.
I felt so paranoid about every single tablet during my pregnancy. I would literally call my gynac even for a basic paracetamol. Please don't risk taking this medicine without your doctor's green light.
Please don't take any such medicines without asking your doctor first, dear. Keep praying and stay positive, but let the doctor decide what is safe for you and the baby. Take care.
Cotrimoxazole is an antibiotic and is generally avoided in certain trimesters of pregnancy due to risks. You should absolutely consult your gynecologist before taking it, as they will suggest safer alternatives.
I had severe urinary infections during my pregnancy and my doctor was extremely cautious about antibiotics. Please do not self-medicate with cotrimoxazole as it might not be safe. Always check with your gynac first.
Don't take it directly, yaar! Actually, during pregnancy, we shouldn't pop any random antibiotics without asking the gynac. Just call your doctor's clinic and ask them once.
When my boy was in my tummy, I didn't even touch a cough drop without asking my doctor. It's always better to be safe than sorry, so please get your doctor's approval first.
