Brief Answer:

it is not to be used. its pregnancy category C drug

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Ciprofloxacin is a category C drug for pregnancy and not to be used during any trimester if not indicated at all and if other better options are available.

Category C drugs mean that Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks.

So, in my opinion, it is not to be used at all for a safer profile in pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query.
