A member asked:

I think i could be pregnant. but i'm taking paxil (paroxetine) & metrodinzole. what's the effect of that while pregnant? will i have a miscarriage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Both: of those medications are commonly used during pregnancy. I would not worry about being on them and they shouldn't increase the risk of miscarriage. Congrats and best of luck!
