Secnidazole 2 Grams During Pregnancy

I suffered from infection hence my doctor subscribed fladazole tabs 2grams to be taken once then after taking the medication i found out i was pregnant around 2 weeks i have read that secnidazole present in fladazole tabs causes fetus malformation. Now i am 5 weeks pregnant should i continue with the pregnancy to prevent any deformation in my child and save it from suffering or is it fine to carry on with the pregnancy as the period in which i took the medicine in would not have a negative effect on the fetus?

I cannot tell you whether or not you should carry to full term, that is something you will need to discuss with your doctor.

However, Secnidazole should only be used after the first trimester (3 months) of pregnancy, it is the early use that can cause fetal problems.

Have you talked to your doctor about this, yet?
