: You are correct but there is no other choice - US FDA pregnancy category C: use is not recommended during the FIRST trimester of pregnancy unless considered essential to patient welfare; this drug may be used during the second and third trimester if the benefit outweighs the risk to the fetus. Good luck to your pregnancy.
