Patient's question:
Doctor, hello:I developed a urinary tract infection on the 3rd day after ovulation. Since the symptoms didn’t improve and instead worsened, I had to take clarithromycin tablets (brand name: Kas) under the guidance of a urologist at the hospital on the 7th day after ovulation. The doctor said this medication belongs to the macrolide class and that if I were pregnant, there wouldn’t be any major issues. I took it for 4 and a half days, totaling 9 tablets. I want to know if taking this medication during this pregnancy would have a very serious impact on the fetus? ?? First follow-up question: Thank you!
I would like to ask one more thing: clarithromycin tablets (Kas
Doctor's answer:
Taking medication in the early stages of pregnancy can have a certain impact on the fetus, and the specific effects vary from person to person. The extent of the impact cannot be predicted at this time. If you want to retain the fetus, it is necessary to strictly follow prenatal check-ups. At weeks 14-19, undergo a Down syndrome screening, and at weeks 22-26, have a 4D ultrasound for prenatal anomaly detection. If necessary, at weeks 16-20, undergo amniocentesis and cord blood analysis to determine the baby's development inside the womb. It is recommended to retain the baby and undergo regular prenatal check-ups. If any abnormalities are found in the baby, terminate the pregnancy in a timely manner.
