Is cipro safe in pregnancy?

Question

I'm pregnant and have developed a urinary tract infection. My doctor prescribed Cipro, but I'm quite anxious about taking any medicine while pregnant. Could someone tell me if Cipro is considered safe during pregnancy?

Suresh Sharma · Accepted Answer

Any medicine in pregnancy needs careful thought. While you might want to save on doctor visits, this is not the time. Cipro is an antibiotic; your doctor will weigh the pros and cons. Don't self-medicate, even if it saves a consultation fee.

From personal experience with complications, I can tell you that every single medicine decision in pregnancy should be made with your gynaecologist. Cipro is potent. Do not take it unless a qualified doctor, aware of your pregnancy, has prescribed it to you. Please see a doctor.

Honey, in pregnancy, even a strong cup of chai feels like a big decision sometimes! Cipro is a serious medicine. Don't ask us aunties here, ask your actual doctor, the one who knows your whole health history. Don't play doctor with your baby!

Priya Kapoor · Answer

Absolutely do not take Cipro or any medication during pregnancy without explicit guidance from your gynaecologist. There are specific guidelines for drug safety in pregnancy, and only your doctor can assess your situation properly.
