I am in early pregnancy and I took a fluconazole capsule and a treatment of Macrobid, is it dangerous?

Question

Hello, I had my last period on November 6th. I took Fluconazole 150mg on November 19th but the situation got worse so I took Macrobid 100mg for a week 2 pills a day. Then I did a pregnancy test today December 4 and it was positive. I have priced this medication because I had an infection.

Hello, thank you for your question! For Macrobid, there is no need to worry, it is safe in early pregnancy. There is some evidence that fluconazole may be risky to use, but that doesn't automatically mean that there will be problems during pregnancy. Simply inform your gynecologist at your next appointment. I hope I've put your mind at ease, but don't hesitate if you have any other questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
