Have been prescribed the antibiotic zimivir1000 for a skin infection and i am trying to fall pregnant, is this safe to take? thanks

Maybe ok: Zimivir is not a U.S. Medication. Some websites say zimivir is acyclovir, which is used to treat herpes. Acyclovir is considered safe to take during pregnancy. One should ask the prescribing doctor about it.
