Pregnant women should avoid the use of COTRIMOXAZOLE because it may cause danger to the fetus. This drug may cross the placenta and affect fetal development. If you have an infection that requires the use of ampicillin, you should talk to your doctor first. Your doctor may adjust the dose or recommend a safe alternative.
In addition, compound ampicillin may also have adverse effects on nursing infants, so it should be used under the guidance of a doctor. During pregnancy, be careful to avoid drinking alcohol, smoking, and using other drugs to ensure the health of your fetus. If you suspect you may be pregnant, notify your doctor immediately and stop using ampicillin.
Compound ampicillin is an effective antibiotic but should be used with caution in pregnant women. Follow your doctor's advice to keep yourself and your baby healthy.
