Can Taxim-O Be Taken During Pregnancy?
Question: Pragnent women can use taxim o 200
Brief Answer:
Can take if seriously indicated.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
Taxim-O contains Cefixime, which is usually considered safe in pregnancy. Still should be avoided if possible particularly in 1st trimester (first 12 weeks) of pregnancy. It is categoriezed under Category B which means no definitive known risk is there still should be used with caution and if possible should be avoided.
Actually no antibiotic is 100% safe in pregnancy. However as compared to others Cefixime is a very safe alternative.
So,see if you need it you may take it. If it cn avoided that is the best.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
