Brief Answer:
Consult your Gynecologist.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us about it.
I can see your concern here because the above mentioned drugs are contraindicated during pregnancy and should not be used because they are teratogenic and may cause congenital abnormalities.
You should consult a Gynecologist and get your TVS ( transvaginal ultrasound ) test done to see foetal well being.
If everything is fine you can continue pregnancy under doctor supervision and second level ultrasound required during the second trimester to find out any congenital anomalies.
As such Ec- dox ( doxycycline ) is contraindicated during pregnancy and cause congenital anomalies and teeth discoloration in baby.
Canditral( itraconazole) is also contraindicated during pregnancy and cause foetal cardiac defect.
Medroxyprogesterone is also contraindicated, but as such no foetal abnormalities are described in human beings.
Hope it is useful, feel free to discuss more.
Regards
