is it safe to take this antibiotic when pregnant?

[hailiedawm]

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and keep getting an absess in my armpit, it came back after the first round of
Antibiotics so the prescribed me a stronger one called cliadamycin 300mg. I'm supposed to
Take 3 times a day for a week.. will this harm my baby? I trust doctors but only so much.

U should ask ur doc with ur concern

[hailiedawm]

I don't think it has to do with the pregnancy, I had them before I was pregnant but if the stuff inside the absess gets in your blood it can be harmful to you and the baby

[Ms_ro]

Ur doc will not prescribed u this if he/she knows will harm the baby so just relax...

CLINDAMYCIN

This treatment has a success rate of 94 percent. Drugs.com reports that clindamycin can cause stomach upset, including nausea and vomiting. It can also cause diarrhea, throat irritation and a rash.
