The 'O' on your tablet strip just marks it as an oral formulation, not a different or unsafe medicine. Treating a UTI with a doctor-approved antibiotic during pregnancy is standard and safe for you and your baby when taken exactly as prescribed for the full course. Do check back with your doctor if fever, back pain, or the burning doesn't ease in 2 to 3 days.
