Thank you for your response. I am just worried as they have given Monocef 1gm, Amikacin, PCM, PAN and voveran drugs along with zofer. Although they have given it once. I am worried about those drug side effects for the fetus. Please help me out with this as well.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
You are most welcome.
These medicines are not recommended during pregnancy but I would suggest you to go for an ultrasound and see for foetal well being if everything is fine than there is no need to worry as you had these medicines only once.
Hope it makes you comfortable.
Good luck.
