Can I Take Antibiotics In Case If Pregnant?
I am trying for a baby. I have been having loose motion (Black in colour) today. Along with that I have been having lot of other problems like stomach pain, back ache, head ache etc. I visited a Gynac and she I am having UTI... PUS cells showed 4-5... bacteria and other things were NIL. Can i take the antibiotics prescribed by her? Or would it be dangerous to take them in case I am pregnent. I am 3 days away from my periods date

Hi,
Oh, with a UTI, people generally need an antibiotic. Tetracycline has side effects in pregnancy. Penicillan family are quite safe in pregnancy. Would need to know the antibiotic to advise further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
