Patient's question:
The last menstrual period was on August 20th. Before the period, I took metronidazole and anti-inflammatory medications, excluding the herbal fire-clearing pills, except for Danzhi Xiaoyao capsules. I started taking metronidazole and fire-clearing and anti-inflammatory medications on July 1st. In the middle, on July 5th, the doctor prescribed an additional 4 boxes of capsules. These medications were taken until around August 18th, after which my period stopped. After my period ended, I finished the remaining box of Danzhi Xiaoyao capsules. In September, when my period didn't come, I realized I was pregnant. Will this affect the baby?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the medications you took were mostly taken before the onset of menstruation, with only one box of Danzhi Xiaoyao Pills taken after menstruation just ended. It will absolutely not interfere with the baby. It is recommended to take folic acid during the early stages of pregnancy until the third month and undergo regular prenatal check-ups. This is the complete introduction to the question "Did taking medication on August 20th after the last menstrual period affect the baby?" Finally, we wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
