Is it safe to take penicillin in early weeks of pregnant?

Answer 1

If your doctor knows you are pregnant and you are not allergic, take it, he is prescribing it because it is the best antibiotic for your condition. Your baby is probably safe from the penicillin, but the infection may harm it. If a medication is going to damage a baby it is more likely in the early weeks as this is when the baby is forming. In the last weeks of pregnancy it is fully formed and is just maturing and putting on weight.

Answer 2

The condition of pregnancy alone does not contraindicate the use of Penicillin during pregnancy however each individual should be seen by an obstetrician to determine if this is the best antibiotic to use for the infection being treated. A previous allergic reaction to Penicillin would contraindicate using this antibiotic or an allergic reaction to another antibiotic in the Penicillin family. Ask your obstetrician.

Answer 3

Considering most people don't know they are pregnant until close to 6 weeks I would say yes. But just don't take a prescription that wasn't prescribed to you.
