Does Consumption Of Amoxsly And Clarithromycin In Pregnancy Cause Any Complications?

I missed my period 3days ago and tested positive. I have been on treatment for Gastroesophagial Reflux Disease and finished my medication just 4days ago. I was put on Amoxsly, Clarithromycin, Ensomeprazole, Buscopan and Antacid. Is there something i should worry about?

Hi, thank you for asking healthcare magic
I understand your concerns
There is nothing to worry about here. Clarithromycin increases the risk of miscarriage when it is taken during pregnancy. Its half life (the time it takes for the concentration to reduce to half) is about 8 hours. This means that after 4 days virtually nothing would be left in the body. The other drugs are safe in pregnancy.
The risk that these drugs could affect your pregnancy is very minimal.

I hope that helps
I wish you well
