Does taking medication after discovering pregnancy have an impact on the fetus?

Patient's question:

I experienced breast tenderness on October 27th, and I thought it was due to fibrocystic breast changes. I took Xiao Jin Wan and Xiao Yao Wan for about three days. By November 13th, my period had not arrived, and I bought a pregnancy test which showed I was pregnant. Could you please tell me if this has any impact on the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

As you mentioned, it is recommended that you don't worry and focus on early pregnancy. Strictly follow prenatal examinations, and make sure to do them on time. I hope this can help you.
Additionally, from the perspective of eugenics, the medication you took may still have an impact on the fetus. However, considering the small amount you consumed, there is no need to worry. Focus on early pregnancy and it is recommended to take folic acid during the early stages of pregnancy.
The above is my advice on this matter. I hope it can assist you. Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health!
