A member asked:
Hi. when i was 4 weeks pregnant, i took loperamide. i thought i was not pregnant. is there any effects to my baby? im 7 weeks pregnant now.

Probably not: As with many medications, information is limited, but there are no definite known effects. Also, taken that early, if there was an effect it likely would be "all or nothing", a miscarriage or no effect. 7 weeks is still early, but if everything looks normal so far you can be somewhat reassured.
