A member asked:
I am 5 weeks pregnant & the doctor put me on antibiotics for a kidney infection the medication is keflex will this cause a miscarriage?:(

Usually not: Keflex isn't normally prescribed for uti, but Keflex is fairly safe in pregnancy (category. B) . I would again check with your doctor about the urine culture to make sure that the bug in your urine is sensitive to keflex.
