uti

my doctor prescribed me sulfameth/trimethoprim i know she knows im pregnant but i hate medicine especially pregnant anyone else get prescribed this is it ok thanks

You have a greater risk to miscarry if you have an untreated UTI than to take the medication. If you're doctor perscriped it and knows you're pregnant. isn't that enough?

Bactrim is considered pregnancy class C...so the doctor should only prescribe it when the benefit outweighs the risk. But an untreated UTI can be dangerous.

Quoting Lizplustwo:" Bactrim is considered pregnancy class C...what did she prescribe it for?"

I also have a uti and was prescribed that the other day. The pharmacist didn't outright tell me I couldn't purchase the medicine, but suggested I go call my doctor and remind him I'm pregnant before taking that.

I'm allergic to Sulfa meds so I go Macrodantin

Well did you call your doctor back and ask or did you just take it?

I am surprised she didn't prescribe Amoxicillin or Macrobid but it depends on the type of bacteria...they usually do a culture to see what antibiotics the bacteria is susceptible to. Maybe this is a resistant strain or something.

Sorry, I should have finished. I did call today and left two messages, with no call back. Will be calling tomorrow and actually going there if I haven't heard anything.

You can call and speak to a triage nurse; they can tell you if a med is safe or not (I called to confirm I should take the Macrodantin prior to filling the prescription

Quoting ready for baby number 2:" my doctor prescribed me sulfameth/trimethoprim i know she knows im pregnant but i hate medicine especially pregnant anyone else get prescribed this is it ok thanks "

i think that may be what i was given... either way there is a kind that is safe for pregnancy. you should be fine   so should baby. your doctor would give you something not safe if he/she knew you were pregnant.

Yeah the one she perscribed me isn't safe though so it makes me nervous everything I looked up wasn't good just waiting for my doctors office to open hoping she will perscribed me something safer ..

wow that's retarded. you would think she would be a tad bit smarter about it :/ i'm sorry

All UTIs are not the same...you might have one that is resistant to the other antibiotics so she had to prescribe something stronger. Ultimately, an untreated UTI is more dangerous to your baby than the antibiotic. But I would definitely ask her.
