Hi,

Most all drugs have to be PRESENT during the time of the baby's development in order to have an effect on it. If you are not pregnant WHILE on the medicines, then that isn't an issue. Having antibody to things is not the same as an active infection. It means a previous infection in the past, often a very long time ago. Likewise unless the infection is present DURING the pregnancy, it doesn't generally matter.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
