A member asked:
Doctor prescribed cefodox (cefpodoxim) for a cough and said it was safer than amoxicillin. i'm 2 weeks pregnant. is it really safer than amoxicillin?

Silly comment: The most dangerous time in pregnancy is between weeks 4-12 when the organs are being laid down. Most colds are viral and antibiotics are useless for them anyhow. Always try to take the least broad spectrum antibiotic for the shortest possible time and surely while you are pregnant. Best of luck!!
