early stage of pregnence, take some medicine,what is the impact on the fetus

the first five days of the fourth week of after the last menstruation bleeding, my wife take the eight pills of  Metronidazole Capsules and a pill of Ibuprofen Capsule.
After these events,we knows that my wife is pregnent。
I am In China,I have saw several doctors,They all said the The Pills have impact  on the fetus。
My wife had a  abortion ten month ago,i am afraid if she is going to have abortion again,it is very likely that she will be unable to be pregnent .
what is the  impact on the fetus,should we choose to  abortion again?

I took this medicine at 14w 2 days along.
they gave me 4 pills and said to take them all at once, and my baby passed away within the next day or so. but we didn't find out til 16wk appt. I had no cramps, bleeding, spotting, nothing.
I researched that drug, and it said to not give unless NEEDED in the 1st and 2nd trimester, and to never give in HIGH doses.
I have no reason for losing my baby and I fully believe this drug is what cause his heart to stop.

Some doctors prescribe pregnant women Metronidazole for treatment of bacterial vaginosis. As for the Ibuprofen, the 1 pill she took isn't going to hurt but they don't recommend continued use of Ibuprofen or Advil during pregnancy. They recommend Tylenol or Acetaminophen. I think your baby will be fine but if you are really concerned I suggest seeing an Obstetrician.
