Idk about the drug, you should call your doctor to double check. But you definitely have to treat the UTI before it becomes a kidney infection.

That's a question for your doctor they're not likely to prescribe something that's going to cause an issue. When it says low risk that means it has happened but it's not common and it's really hard to know the cause of a birth defect anyway. Think about prop 65 in California they have to put a sign up on the bar that says this place may cause cancer.... It's not likely the restaurant is causing cancer but something is.

Please call the pharmacy and speak to the pharmacist! It’s their job to explain any risks to you and suggest if there’s a safer alternative. Also are you taking your folic supplement? because I believe this antibiotic can deplete folic. Please check with your pharmacist for a reliable medical opinion!

Did you talk to your doctor about your concerns? Also you can talk to the pharmacist. They would be the best. Google says everything is bad. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ask your pharmacist! My Dr prescribed medication that causes miscarriages and the pharmacist caught it!!

Your doctor wouldn’t give you something that is risky for the baby. A UTi can kill your baby. Take the medicine.
