I visited several sites and they all said you should not take this drug while pregnant. "Avoid PODOPHYLLOTOXIN - neonatal death & teratogenic effects on fetus reported
Avoid PODOPHYLLOTOXIN in the 1st, 2nd & 3rd TRIMESTER of pregnancy"

Take a pregnancy test, and if you are, call your doctor ASAP. He will tell you what to do from there.

The first trimester is the first 3 months or 12 weeks. The second trimester is three months to six months or 24 weeks. The third trimester refers to any pregnancy past 6 months or 24 weeks.
What they mean in my first post is this: Do not take this drug while pregnant.
