A member asked:

Can amoxicillin 875 mg, twice a day, for 20 days (2 scripts for bad wisdom tooth infection) cause a 12 week pregnancy to stop developing?

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Very unlikely: Amoxicillin is not known to have any bad effects on the fetus and generally is safe in pregnancy. But of course discuss with your obstetrician if you remain concerned.
