Hmmm,
Flagl is used for amoebiasis. I actually had it prescribed for that when I was 3 months pregnant. It is one of those drugs where the benefit has to outweigh the risk.
However, it is not usually prescribed for UTI. THere are other drugs for that. Definitely follow this up.
Yes!! I rec'd the return call from the RN and she said that was unusual to prescribel that for a UTI and she is going to have that doctor call me tomorrow. (it is a large practice) geee......what if I never questioned her??? The nurse also said it is for BV, which I don't believe I have. I do not have any symptoms at all. I also bought one of those UTI tester strips and it came out negative.
Ugh! I work in a hospital and I hate to see things like this happen, but they do!
you have to be very careful when using flagyl, i have only had for BV but cannot imagine it ok for pregnancy? Check with your OB
I have had chronic UTI's since childhood and was never given FLAGYL. I usually take Cipro and Bactrim. I have only been given Flagyl for BV. I might double check with your doctor. Also, was the Flagyl oral or via the vaginal gel? I believe that the oral is contraindicated in pregnancy.
