Dear Doctor, First of all I would like to thank you and really appreciate your service/help done through VOG.lk. In a world of people with self interest people like you stand out uniquely with the social service you do for common people. Great Stuff, super... My Question :- I got a viral flu during 9 weeks pregnancy and had to take antibiotics (Amoxicillin) as a treatment. I have heard that it is not good taking medicine before 3 months as it can affect baby. Is Amoxicillin safe for the baby. How can we exactly know whether some medicine has an impact on the baby or not?

පිළිතුර

This antibiotic is safe in pregnancy. It does not cause any harm to the baby.
