Hi
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your concern for the safety of Azivent & Dolo during pregnancy.

Regarding Azivent (Azithromycin) 500:

It is a Pregnancy "B" Category drug.
Animal studies failed to show harmful effects on the growing fetus.
There are no controlled data in human pregnancy, hence Azivent should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed like respiratory infection.

Regarding Dolo (Paracetamol) 650:

There is no clear evidence that it has any harmful effects on the unborn baby.
It can be used routinely during pregnancy to reduce a high temperature and for pain relief at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time, so 500 mg is an adequate dose.

Hope this answers your query.
