Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old. I am more than one month pregnant. When I was preparing for pregnancy, the doctor prescribed Fumaric Acid Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablets two months in advance. The doctor said I should take it from the time of conception until delivery. Has it been taken continuously so far? Does this medication interfere with the baby? Can I stop taking this medication during pregnancy? Will stopping it cause side effects?Doctor's answer:
I don't know why you need to take this medication? This is an antiviral drug, and it is best not to take it during pregnancy. If you have other health conditions, it is best to consult with a reputable private tertiary hospital. Evaluate the interaction between the disease and the side effects of this medication through testing to see if it is necessary to take this drug. This antiviral medication should be avoided as much as possible during pregnancy.
