Hi i just went to the er today because of bodyache,cold and cough and some spotting and im26weeks 5days pregnant, is taking amoxil (amoxicillin) safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes amoxicillin is: safe for pregnancy, as it does not cross the placental barrier and is not teratogenic. Any penicillins would be safe in pregnancy. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
