Information contained in the summary of product characteristics:
'Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproduction. Limited data on the use of amoxicillin in pregnant women do not indicate an increased risk of congenital malformations."
The mechanism of action of Amotax (effect on bacterial cell walls) makes it a well-tolerated, safe and most commonly used antibiotic in pregnant women. When prescribing a specific treatment, the doctor is usually suggested by the ratio of benefits from the use of a given drug to the potential risks associated with the treatment. If left untreated, the infection can harm a pregnant woman and an unborn child, so I encourage you to follow your doctor's recommendations.
In case of any doubts, I encourage you to use the teleconsultation with a gynaecologist - the service is available on our website in the e-visit tab:
