Oflomac is Ciprofloxacin which is an antibiotics. It has C pregnancy category, meaning thereby that the animal studies on this medicine has shown adverse effects on the foetus, however, there is no sufficient data available in human studies. Hence, to be on the safer side, we avoid its use even in human pregnant women.
You have take this medicine in embryo forming stage of the baby which will carry more risk. You will have to report to your Obstetrician, weigh the potential risk of foetal effects and take a decision keeping the risk in mind.
