Hi Steuby,
Thank you for looking that up. I have actually done quite a bit of research about it in the net, but it doesn't really tell you much. Erythromycin, for instance, is also Class B, but is used routinely during pregnancy. I have asked my new Dr. (OB) about it, and he said it is fine. He is only concerned about Accutane and RetinA. I know other things like tetracycline are also contraindicated, though. I am getting some different answers from pharmacists (though most think it is ok). I called my old Dr. recently. He delivered my first child. He said he thought it would be better not to use it. His nurse said he "didn't like it", or something to that effect. My Drs. here however, don't understand why I won't just take their word for it and not worry. I know that many pregnant women use the vaginal form of this for BV during pregnancy, but I have read that it (especially the oral form) should not be used during the first trimester. I can't get a clear answer about it--even the manufacturer won't say it's ok. They have to cover themselves to avoid litigation. I am hoping someone has used it or is using it during pregnancy and can put my mind at ease. (What's terrible is I think it might just be starting to help!)
Thank you so much for your help.
