Does Medicine For Kidney Stone Cause Foetus Death?
I was four month pregnant. when i went for general check -up, i came to know my baby has no heart beat and had stopped growing. I have kidney stones and the doctor has prescribed calrex-d 500, tablets to me, with which i had a very sharp pain during the 3rd month. what could be the cause of the death of the baby?
Hello, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. The medication prescribed to treat your renal stones has been categorized under C by the FDA during pregnancy. This means animal studies have shown unwanted effects while there are no adequate human studies. Thus, the use of this medication is warranted only if absolutely needed. Nevertheless, it cannot be said that the use of this medication may have caused the missed pregnancy. It is true that stress and trauma can lead to an abortion. Other possible causes like hormone insufficiency, genetic defects, infections etc., also should be excluded. A postmortem performed on the abortus can help to know the cause and help planning future pregnancies. Hope this helps.
