Took Albendazole Without Knowledge Of Pregnancy. Will This Drug Cause Any Bad Effect On Baby ?

My wife's age is 33. Unfortunately she became pregnant. Her pregnancy came to our knowledge on 22.11.13. Her last period was started on 19.10.13. But both of we took albandazole repeatedly on 26.10.13 & 02.11.13. Pls tell us will this drug causes any effect on our baby?

Hi,
Dont worry..there is only a minimal risk. It is category C for pregnancy that is benefit outweighs risk.
If you are still worried you may get a level 2 ultasound at end of three months.

Hope it helps.
