Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 16 weeks pregnant, will taking Sulfatrim DS harm my baby?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I do not recommend this Sulfatrim DS (Sulfamethoxazole, Trimethoprim) at your pregnancy age. If you have been prescribed for any infection, please tell the doctor you are pregnant and change therapy. Usually, penicillins are safe to use. Other drugs including Sulfatrim are recommended when penicillins do not work. Discuss this with the doctor who prescribed Sulfatrim to you. All the best to you and your baby.
