A member asked:
Can you tell me how pills (i took vermox when i was 4 weeks pregnant) affect a 4 weeks old fetus? when do organs begin to develop? what are the risks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hopefully no harm: Mebendazole has been assigned to pregnancy category C by the FDA. Animal studies have revealed evidence of fetotoxicity and teratogenicity. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. However, mebendazole has been used during pregnancy without evidence of fetal harm. Mebendazole is only recommended for use during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk, follow up with your obstetrician,goodluck
