Does taking medication before a carbon-14 breath test have an effect on the fetus?

Patient's question:

On September 11th, I had my period. On October 3rd, I took a carbon-14 breath test and took 10 days of Omeprazole enteric-coated capsules (10 pills). I also took several boxes of Qizhi Weitong Granules, along with herbal remedies for regulating the spleen and stomach. Only then did I realize I was pregnant. Will this affect the child? Can I keep it? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Dear Inquirer,
Omeprazole sodium capsules contain a proton pump inhibitor, which is contraindicated for pregnant women and infants. Shugan Jianwei pills have little interference. Since you have been taking omeprazole for a short time and later discovered you were pregnant, you should weigh the situation yourself.
The above advice is for the question "Menstruated on September 11th and underwent a carbon-14 breath test on October 3rd." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
