My doctor prescribed me potassium clavulanate for an infection, but I'm pregnant and feeling a bit hesitant. I want to be very careful with any medication. Is this generally considered safe for pregnant women?
Beta, medical matters me humein bilkul risk nahi lena chahiye. Jab main pregnancy me bimar padi thi, toh maa ne kaha tha bina doctor se pooche ek bhi goli nahi khani hai. Apne gynac se pooch kar hi yeh dawai lena.
Having twins taught me to double-check everything, especially medicines! Don't search Google for antibiotic safety because it will only give you tension. Just drop a quick Whatsapp message to your doctor and ask them directly.
Do not self-medicate with potassium clavulanate. It is an antibiotic and while doctors do prescribe it during pregnancy if there is an infection, only your gynac can decide the correct dosage for you. Call your clinic right away.
Actually, I was prescribed this by my gynac for a severe UTI last month and she said it was safe for the baby. But I made sure to take the exact dose she wrote. Are you planning to take it for a cold or has your doctor already prescribed it?
