Could Taking Zanocin Cause Any Side Effect During Pregnancy?

Hi, I am 29 years old and I took Zanocin 200mg for 4 days and half (9 tablets). Before this I did a pregnancy test and it was negative. I also went to a doctor and told me nothing about a pregnancy. After 4 days, while I was taking Zannocin I repeted the pregnancy test. And surprise: Pozitive. I went again to another doctor and he told me that I am pregnant in 5 weeks. My question: Could Zanocin affect my baby? Thank you very much .

HI,
I understand your concern.
You had taken Zanocan .. a short course.while you were in early weeks of pregnancy.
No human tests are available for effect of Zanocin on fetus. ..In animal studies a ten fold doze showed miner effects of skeletal development of fetuses.
I feel you should stop taking & avoid further use of medicine & ask for a safer substitute to your doctor. & Follow fetal development with USG scanning as advised by embryologist.
Thanks.
