Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. I can comment better if you can furnish the list of medications prescribed. As such, no medication is safe during the first trimester and hence usage should be limited to dire necessity. Since you have passed the phase of early organogenesis, you can take some liberty in medication. Lacdose contains an enzyme and can be used. Amyclox LB contains cloxacillin which is not safe to use in pregnancy and is better avoided. Ephril is a medication to treat cold and should be used with caution. Torrent should also be used with caution. Hope this information is useful to you. Take care.
