A member asked:

Is it safe to take 6 weeks worth of amoxicillin pills twice a day while pregnant? i think it's a bit much.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Won't hurt baby: The particulars of your case are not mentioned. If the real question is the effect on baby i would say none.If you have another concern i would share it with your treating physician or submit a new question with information on why you are being treated.
