Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

Both are pregnancy category C drugs which should be avoided in pregnancy as per my opinion.
Please ask your physician to use safe antibiotic in pregnancy for your condition.
Consult psychiatrist for methadone dependence as it will lead to fetal opiod dependence.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
