Question
I took Metronidazole Extended-Release Tablets Yifujing in September for a week, and then at the end of October, I also took Metronidazole Extended-Release Tablets Yifujing for seven days as well. Normally, my period comes on the 29th of each month, but it hasn’t arrived yet, and it’s November 3rd today. I tested my morning urine, and I want to ask if I were pregnant, would this medicine affect the child?
Answer
Based on the description, a weak positive result from an early pregnancy test suggests a possibility of pregnancy. However, there’s no need to worry as metronidazole is now classified as a B-type antibiotic. Especially if taken within four weeks of stopping your period, it will not affect the early growth and development of the embryo. It is recommended to have regular prenatal check-ups and closely monitor the growth and development of the embryo at each stage. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy body and a beautiful life.
