How Safe Is Taking Norflox During Pregnancy?
I have just started with 8th month of pregnancy, have stomach infection now and been prescribed norflox 400 by my gynecologist. I have taken 1 tablet so far and saw the reviews on internet that its not safe to take during pregnancy. Is it ok now that I have taken this 1 tablet? what are the side effects? will it effect my baby? please advise

Hi
welcome to HM.
I understand your concern.
Norflox is coming under category C.
Though it has a risk but review and literature said it is relatively safe to take drug if it is really needed.
Risk can not be ruled out.
But at the 8th month of pregnancy it has less harmful effect on fetus . So you can take it.
Still you have query then feel free to ask.
Always here to help you.
Thank you.
Take care.
