I just took a pregnancy test and it was positive, I took macrobid for a urinary tract infection. Is there any danger?

Hello Ma'am,

First, congratulations on the good news!"

The data on the use of Macrobid™ during early pregnancy is quite good. In fact, this medication is mostly avoided after the 37th week of pregnancy, as it seems to increase the risk of jaundice in the unborn baby.

Good evening,
