hi don't worry both augmentin and lonart are safe in pregancy and If malaria and typhoid left untreated can have worse side effects and even cause abortion . your doctor has done the right thing by prescribing you the above medication.they will have no side effect on the fetus . don't worry take care . also take weekly chloroquine upto 6 weeks postpartum to prevent relapse
of malaria.
