Question
The patient had her period on October 14th, engaged in sexual intercourse with her partner on October 27th and November 3rd, and took GanKang for two consecutive days from November 1st or 2nd. After 38 days of pregnancy, she worried about the potential impact of the medication on the embryo and inquired whether it would affect the child.
Answer
The use of medication from November 4th to November 6th may have a certain degree of impact on the early stages of pregnancy. Since the medication was taken early on, the embryo had not yet formed a blood relationship with the mother. The impact of medication on the embryo is usually either complete or absent. If there is an impact, it is often accompanied by symptoms of miscarriage. I hope these suggestions can help answer your question about whether taking GanKang during early pregnancy is problematic, and wish you health.
