Hi
Thanks for choosing HCM for your query.

Incomplete data: Name of the antibiotic and the pregnancy test.

Early pregnancy is the period in which the organs are formed in the growing fetus.
So, use of drugs is not advisable as no drug is found to be safe during this stage of pregnancy.
Regarding its harmful effects on the growing fetus, it depends upon which antibiotic is used and for how many days it has been prescribed.

Some antibiotics like tetracyclines, quinolones, sulfonamides, etc are found to be causing harmful effects in the growing fetus hence should be avoided during pregnancy.

This is for your kind information and needful.
Rate the question if you are convinced.
