Is it harmful to the fetus if I take medicine for a cold when I am 6 weeks pregnant?

Patient's question:

Just found out I'm 6 weeks pregnant. Before the careful check-up, I had a cold and took this medicine. On the first night, I took one pill, and on the third day, I took two pills. Hello, could this interfere with the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is not recommended to take medication during the early stages of pregnancy, especially during the first three months when the fetus is developing. However, it is not absolutely forbidden, and the decision depends on the specific components of the medication. Based on the detailed ultrasound examination results mentioned above, it can be confirmed that there is an intrauterine pregnancy, and the fetus is currently developing normally. It is impossible to predict future conditions, as the fetus is continuously growing and developing. If you have decided to keep this baby, it is best to undergo regular prenatal check-ups and closely monitor the fetus's growth and development.
