A member asked:

What to do if i am in my 1st trimester(7.5 wks) and my ob perscribed metronidazole should i wait or take it now please help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Metronidazole & preg: Metronidazole can be taken in early pregnancy. 15 years ago we waited until the second trimester to prescribe, but it has not been shown to be a problem to take it in the first trimester.

Dr Colegrove agreed
