Does medication during early pregnancy affect the child?

Patient's question:

I last had my period on 6.17. I took about a dozen Liyanling tablets on the 5th and 6th of July. On the 6th and 7th, I took four White and Black pills and three small bags of Ribavirin, two bags of Cephalosporin. From the 8th to the 9th, I took two doses of Lianhua Qingwen capsules and Four Seasons Cold Medicine. I tested positive on the 18th. During this time, I was using contraception. I started not using contraception on the 11th.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as you mentioned, considering pregnancy, there are certain changes in the enzymes in a pregnant woman's body, which can affect the metabolic process of certain drugs. Drugs are not easily detoxified and excreted, and there may be cumulative poisoning. During the early stages of pregnancy when fetal organs are forming, drugs can have a certain impact on the fetus. In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception can have some impact on the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their own care. Contraceptors should pay attention to their own care, such as adjusting their diet, paying attention to warmth, and avoiding catching colds.
