Is It Advisable To Take Medication For Nephrotic Syndrome During Pregnancy?
Hello my wife has nephrotic syndrome and has fallen pregnant. She is now 6 weeks pregnant. She is on medication which is prograf, osteobone, furosemide, phamapress, lipitor etc. She has now stopped all her medication but her nephrotic syndrome is now flaring up again. Can she continue taking all that medication while being pregnant. Will that do any harm to the baby and will the baby be deformed. What should we do. Do you think we should terminate the pregnancy.

Hello,
Yes, these drugs can harm your baby. But if she won't take these drugs, then her condition will deteriorate. So I think to consult your gynecologist and physician for further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
