Patient's question:
My husband was feeling unwell and took many medications (cold medicine, Levaquin, etc.) During this time, I happened to get pregnant. I'm wondering if it had any impact on the baby. Will it affect the child in the future?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The early stage of pregnancy (the first 3 months) is a crucial period for fetal development. Medications taken during this time can have a significant impact on the fetus's development (especially pregnancy contraindicated drugs), but the likelihood and extent of the effects vary depending on factors such as the type of medication, dosage, and duration of use. It is individualized.
