hello, do not worry. all medications taken in the first trimester should be carefully weighed against the potential adverse effects on the fetus. however if the medications are taken during the very early phase of pregnancy, that is before 6 weeks then the chances of the pregnancy being affected are very less. they are however not zero either. I think you can continue with your pregnancy and get trimester screening done subsequently.
