Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Taking some medications before or in the very early stages of pregnancy will not have a significant impact on the fetus. There is no need to worry excessively or resort to induced abortion for this reason. The period of 3-8 weeks after fertilization (5-10 weeks after the last menstrual period) is when the embryo's organs are differentiating and forming, making it highly susceptible to external factors such as medications, which can lead to fetal malformations. This is known as the "highly sensitive period for teratogenesis."
