Could Taking Proxyvon Drugs In Pregnancy Effect The Fetus?
Hi Sir. I am 34 yrs and i ve been taking spasmo proxy last two years. Later i came to know that i am pragnant and m worried taking proxyvon drugs during my pregnancy. Is it safe for my baby? Please do advice me.
Hi, I have gone through your query and understood your concern. Spasmoproxyvon contains dextropropoxyphene, dicyclomine and paracetamol. Dextropropoxyphene belongs to pregnancy category C and D according to the FDA. Category C means animal studies may have revealed adverse effects and there are no controlled studies in women. Category D means there is a definite risk but in both cases, the drug may be used if it is absolutely necessary. Dicyclomine and paracetamol belong to category B, where studies have failed to reveal any harmful effects and hence can be used if necessary. In the current scenario, please get regular follow up and an anomalies scan if you are well into the pregnancy. If you are in very early pregnancy, you can get the fetal DNA sampling done. Hope your query has been clarified. Wish you good health.
