Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Are The Effect Of Taking Lovir During Pregnancy?
My daughter has got chickenpox and I am 20 weeks pregnant now. I am staying with her. My doctor prescribed Lovir 800 tablets 3 times a day for 5 days. I just took one tablet and then came to know that it will adversely affect my baby. So I stopped taking it. Will this one tablet cause any ill effects on baby? what measures should take to prevent it. Please suggest?
I think you should stop taking them. One tablet only is not likely to harm baby. I think you will not have side effects and will not need it. Possibly you have had chicken pox as a child.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
