Is it safe to take trimethoprim while pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Generally we try to avoid using trimethoprim in pregnancy, especially if there is another antibiotic that would do the same job. Sometimes though trimethoprim is the best antibiotic choice for certain infections. It is safer earlier in pregnancy than later.
