Brief Answer:
re-consider using rutoheal; others safe in pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
Dear, I can understand your concerns:

I would mention about each drug's safety in pregnancy for your easy understanding:

Oricitral: not expected to cause any fetal harm when taken in recommended doses.

Rutoheal: safety status in pregnancy unknown.

Martifur: pregnancy category B (this means that animal studies have shown adverse effects but no adverse effects for fetus when used in humans). Usually avoided in late pregnancy.
XXXXXXX V in vagina (pessaries): Safe in pregnancy.

In short, You can take these drugs for your UTI (with re-consideration of use of rutoheal; talk to your doctor about this).
Do you must keep a regular follow-up with your doctor.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to discuss further.

Kindly close the discussion if you have no more queries and give your valuable feedback.

Thanks.
Dr. Nidhi Setia.
