influenza
I was diagnosed with influenza on sunday in the er and the doctor prescribed me with tamiflu 75mg but I'm worried about my baby getting harmed by the medication because I'm only 14 weeks...any comments or recommendations???
So I spoke with my doctor today and she said it's not harmful to the baby but she also said that as soon as I feel better to stop taking it...
My daughter got the flu and my OB called me the next day to prescribe me tamiflu. I was so worried about taking it it is just sitting at home.
Thank you ladies for your replies. But Yes that was the very first thing I did at the er, I told then I'm pregnant.
If you were worried about it you should have asked in the ER. Did you tell the doctor you are pregnant? The doctor would not have prescribed something that was dangerous to your fetus. Tamiflu has a very limited window of time in which it can help with your symptoms. You need to take it so that it will help you to feel better. If you wait too long it isn't going to do you any good.
Call you're primary doctor tomorrow. It should be ok but ask to be sure
