Question
Input: Will clindamycin cause fetal intelligence deficiency?
Answer
Clindamycin is classified as a B-class drug and is considered safe for use during pregnancy. However, there are many factors that can cause fetal malformations, and even pregnant women who have not been exposed to any harmful factors have about a 1% rate of malformation in their deliveries. It is still not possible to completely determine the child’s health. Clindamycin does not pass through the placenta, so it should not be problematic, but please follow your doctor’s advice for regular check-ups. If the child is diagnosed with intellectual disability, parents should take the child to the doctor immediately, avoid using any medication without a prescription, and carefully observe the child’s symptom changes to help them receive timely treatment.
