A member asked:

I been on metronidazole but jus found out im peegnant approx 3-4 weeks i ave two days left of taking them bit stopped im worried cos my pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be fine: Online blogs indicate it has not caused harm to anyone. Ask your doctor as he/she will have lots of experience with Metronidazole and pregnancy. Everything points to no problem.
