Betamax 500mg During Pregnancy

Updated

I'm 12 weeks pregnant and I have the flu, so the doctor gave me Betamax 500mg to drink 3 times a day. Is it safe while pregnant?

Yes, the U.S. FDA does not list it as being dangerous, when taken during pregnancy, but it will not do anything to help with flu symptoms. The flu is caused by a virus and an antibiotic is only effective at treating bacterial infections. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

Are you on any other medications?

Congratulations on the pregnancy!!!

Here in Seacoast where the winters are damp and cold, I used betamax during my pregnancy. Didn't have any issues... quite the contrary, it helped me recover from our long cold and flu season quickly. In Seacoast, it's hard to find, but make sure you get Chisolm brand because they make other good products, but that's up to you.
