Can One Try For Pregnancy While On Vermox?
Hello,
I have taken vermox today, a single 100mg dose, as a prophylactic for threadworm as my daughter is currently infested and also on vermox.
My query is I am trying to conceive at present. I am sure I am not pregnant right now. As I had a dose today do I need to avoid ttc for a period of time?
Thank you

Hello,
As there is not much evidence of the effect of Vermox in pregnancy. We really cannot comment on its use. It's better to avoid trying to conceive but if you want to then change the drug used. Instead, take Metronidazole with this, then you can conceive.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mandavi Rai
