A member asked:
My wife is pregnant since one month, can she take antibiotic known as bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) forte during the 1st month of pregnancy or this is a contraindication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Absolutely not, this antibiotic has not been determined to be safe during pregnancy, being labeled as pregnancy category d. It should not be taken anytime during pregnancy, especially the first trimester.
