Hello
Welcome to HCM Thanks for posting your query.
I understand your concerns.
Calvepen tablets are penicillin group of antibiotics which are very much safe to take during pregnancy. Paracetamol is the drug of choice during pregnancy. It is also very much safer for your baby.

Your doctor has prescribed the right drugs. No need to worry. Complete full course of antibiotics.

Moxolon tablets are also considered to be safe.

Enjoy your pregnancy. Hope this helps you.
Thank you
