Does Medication For A Procedure During Pregnancy Cause Fetal Harm?

Hi, I had an upper gi endoscopy on 01/03/2011 and night before the procedure, I had pregnancy test which came back negative.(My mensturation takes place on 3rd of every month) and on 01/05/2011, I found out that I was pregnant. Could the drugs administered before endoscopy have adverse effect on the embryo? I have a doctor s appointment on thursday but I m so anxious. I d appreciate any advise you could give. Thanks so much

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Drugs given prior to endoscopy are usually laxatives, and these are not harmful for pregnancy, if do not cause diarrhoea.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
