I would either phone a pharmacy--or call
the .Dr back. I dont know if it is
safe or not. But I do know if your
preg you defineately need to cure the
claymidia, so you have to take
something--just not sure if zythromax is
safe or not. Lets us all know for
referance if the med is safe to
take---thanks

Yeah I would talk to a doc like fatfamily
said..Because when I was pregnant they
would only prescribe me medication for
babies...Like when I got a cold or sinus
..They would always give me medicine for
baby ear infections...So I would def ask a
doctor and see what they say ..Because
some doctor have different opinions on
things...

I had to take antibiotics to clear up a
bladder infection...But I am not sure what
antobiotic it was, but it was prescribed
by my ob so I know it was safe...I would
call your doctor/ob and ask (unless they
prescribed and are aware that you are
pregnant...And you could always call just
to make sure that they are aware (if its
your family doctor)).

i dont think she is completely certain she
is pregnant yet. That is the feeling I
got from the post. I could be mistaken--

Yes, she means you.
If the doc prescribed it and is aware that
you are pregnant it should be safe. If
you are worried, double check. It's
better to be safe than sorry.
Here's a link that shows some of the meds
that are safe and unsafe during
pregnancy....

If the dr knew u were pregnant and gave u
those meds take them, if he didnt then I
would call back and give him the
fyi.....Sometimes some meds arent safe but
the majority are during certian trimesters
so take it its more dangerous for the baby
if u have chylmadia higher chance of
preterm brith and miscarriage!!

Thanks.
And no she was not aware that I was
pregnant. Thats shy I am asking. I was
expected to get my period on the 10 of
febuary. I went to the doc for a papsmear
on the 9th. Then on the 10th they called
me and asked to come in cause I had un
normal results. They told me I had
clamidya and gave me antibiotics to cure
it. But since that day I did not get my
period (i have very regular periods the
same date every month) and I had been
trying to conceive I thought I could take
a day or two to take a pregnancy test.
Came out positive and then went to lab to
get a pregnancy test there (urine and
blood) and came out positive too. Not
where my ob is I went to the one that
could test me asap. My ob does not have
any room for appts until march and mine is
march 9. Thats why I didnt know to take
the anibiotic or not.

I would hold off. I have had to take
antibotics twice now, once after I had my
tooth pulled and once when I had a chest
infection. I have severe asthma. I
would talk to your doctor first prior to
taking anything.

Me? |
yes, you said "if I am pregnant" and I
also felt you had not told your dr you
thought you might be. Which you didnt!
Right? That is why I say call the .Dr
back or the pharmacist--he will know.
Good luck --i hope you are indeed
pregnant.
