Question
Hello doctor,
I am 6 days late for my period and tested 2 lines. Me and my husband had sex on the 12th day of the cycle. On the 13th day, I had a urinary tract infection and the doctor prescribed Levocide 500. I took a total of 11 days of the drug, 2 tablets a day. Because I was afraid of getting pregnant, when I finished taking the first phase, it was 5 days, I took a test but only 1 line. I went back to the doctor and took another 6 days of medication. Doctor let me ask if Levocide 500 will affect the fetus? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Does Levocide 500 affect the fetus? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Levocide 500 is a synthetic antibacterial that is used to effectively treat urinary tract infections, pneumonia, sinusitis,... This drug is not recommended to be used. for women who are pregnant or suspected of being pregnant, especially in the early stages of pregnancy, because it may cause some embryo abnormalities or miscarriage.
You take medicine during the embryonic stage, so you need to see a doctor for an examination, tests to rule out risks to the fetus and better instructions for pregnancy care.
If you still have questions about whether Levocide 500 affects the fetus, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
