QuestionHi,
Last month I went into the OB for a check up. When my Pap smear came back it was positive for bacterial vaginosis. She put me on Metronidazole suppositories. I just went back today for the results of my recheck and the infection is still there. This time she put me on Albothyl (policresulen) suppositories. I just found out I'm pregnant - I will be 5 weeks on Monday Sept. 26th. Is this medicine safe to use during pregnancy?
We currently are living in the Philippines, and that is the only reason I worry.
I also have a urinary tract infection that said could be from the vaginal infection. For that she put me on 500mg of Ampicillin 4xday for 7 days. Also duphaston 10mg 3xday for 3 days, and duvadilan 10mg 3xday for 3 days.
I just want to make sure this is all needed and safe to use.
Thank you,
Jennifer
AnswerFlagyl suppositories are safe for use during pregnancy, as are Ampicillin, and duphaston. However, I am unfamiliar with Albothyl. The only antibiotics approved during pregnancy for bacterial vaginosis are Flagyl cream (suppositories) or Cleocin cream.
