Can a child take Niuhuang Jiedu Pian?

Patient's question:

I got pregnant but unknowingly took Gentian Fructus Decoction tablets. Additionally, I have itchy skin and took Desloratadine Dispersible Tablets, which are mainly used to treat neurodermatitis. I want to know if I can continue this pregnancy and if there will be any adverse effects.

Doctor's answer:

Within 2 weeks after fertilization, the effect of any embryotoxic drugs or harmful substances on the embryo is“all” or “none.” In other words, the effect of Azithromycin or other harmful substances on the embryo is: either causing a miscarriage or having no impact at all, with no problems for the child, allowing the pregnancy to continue.
Fertilization typically occurs around the mid-cycle of the menstrual period. If the menstrual cycle is 28 days long, the "all-or-nothing" effect generally remains effective within the first month after the missed period. During this period, if you received an intravenous infusion without knowing you were pregnant, there is no need to be overly anxious. As long as the child survives, there is usually no significant issue.
