Doxycycline in pregnancy

2020-04-26 00:05:54
Without considering my 5 weeks of pregnancy, I had doxycycline for two days to cure my acne. Then I stopped consuming it after my pregnancy got confirmed. Now I am in my 7 th week. Will it affect my baby? I am worrying a lot. Please help me to understand.

No it will not. Medicine in early pregnancy will have "all or none" effect. Either baby will be aborted spontaneously because of abnormality or it will become absolutely normal. Do NOT worry.
