ampicillin, amoxicillin, quinolones, TM-SM.
I'm wondering that different sources recommand different ones!!!




  #2

I was thinking of TMP-SMX.....

  #3

ampicillin, amoxicillin, TM-SM - all are safe in pregnancy...
But for UTI TM-SM is better than other two

  #4

Amoxi, Ampi, Cephalexin, Nitrofurantoin.
For TMP-SMX C safety for use during pregnancy has not been established; it can produce neonatal kernicterus.

  #5

TMX SX AND NITROFURANTOIN DOC NITRO EVEN BETTER AND MORE COMMONLY PRESCRIBED FOR UTI IN PREGNANAY

  #6

NITROFURANTOIN or a cephalosporin or a penincillin

Nitrofurantoin is safest always.

thats the right answer. also, TMP-SMZ used only in 2nd trimester. In 1st trimester, it can cause folate antagonism. in 3rd trimester, kernicterus
