Patient: i have 14 weeks pregnancy, age 28 yrs old, during last one week i caught wih cough and cold and sometimes feeling pain in my lower abdomen. Today during my routine check up with my doctor, I asked about cough and cold and about pain. My doctor prescribed to take Cefolac - AZ and Gestakind- SR. Is the medicine prescribed by my doctor is ok ? Please let me know. Doctor: Hi there,,Any infection in preganncy needs to be treated promptly a lot of women do not take medication thinking it may adversely affect the baby, but it is very important to get the infection treated.The cefolac is a antibiotic useful in respiratory tract infection and is safe in pregnancy. Moreover the first 12 weeks is a very crucial time and after this period it is generally safe to take medications.Do complete the course of this antibiotic.The gestakind is a medication which is helful in cough and also relaxes the womb so do use it.Hope this helps.Regards.
