Patient's question:
The last menstrual period was on August 20th. Before the period, I took metronidazole and anti-inflammatory medications, excluding the ones for clearing heat, except for Danzhi Xiaoyao capsules. I started taking metronidazole and medications for clearing heat and anti-inflammation 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 the 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 have regular prenatal check-ups. This is the full introduction to "Is it harmful to the baby if I took medicine on August 20th, the last menstrual period?" Finally, I wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
