Could taking Zanocin cause any side effect during pregnancy?
Patient: Hi, I am 29 years old and I took Zanocin 200mg for 4 days and half (9 tablets). Before this I did a pregnancy test and it was negative. I also went to a doctor and told me nothing about a pregnancy. After 4 days, while I was taking Zannocin I repeted the pregnancy test. And surprise: Pozitive. I went again to another doctor and he told me that I am pregnant in 5 weeks. My question: Could Zanocin affect my baby? Thank you very much . Doctor: HI,     I understand your concern.     You had taken Zanocan .. a short course.while you were in early weeks of pregnancy.      No human tests are available for effect of Zanocin on fetus. ..In animal studies  a ten fold doze showed miner effects of skeletal development of fetuses.      I feel you should stop taking & avoid further use of medicine & ask for a safer substitute to your doctor. & Follow fetal development with USG scanning as advised by embryologist.   Thanks.
