Zithromax and pregnancy03/30/2007 |
WOULD THERE BE ANY COMPLICATIONS OR BIRTH DEFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH TAKING ZITHROMAX DURING THE FIRST WEEKS OF PREGNANCY? AND IF YES DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONES THEY WOULD BE?THANK YOU.
Azithromycin (Zithromax) is an antibiotic that has been given a pregnancy category B, which means that animal studies have been performed with the drug with no evidence of harm to the fetus. There have not been adequate well controlled studies conducted on pregnant women to confirm its safety in humans. But, pregnant women have taken the drug in studies during their first trimester and have gone on to deliver normal, healthy babies.
