Did the doctor know you were pregnant? The decision to recommend a drug for a pregnant woman is made by the doctor based on an assessment of the benefit to the mother and the possible risk to the foetus. However, according to the summary of product characteristics, Ciprinol is not recommended for use in pregnant women.
Quoting:
Available data on the administration of ciprofloxacin to pregnant women do not indicate that ciprofloxacin causes malformations or is toxic to the foetus or newborn. Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity. In young animals and just before birth, quinolones cause damage to the immature cartilages of the joints. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that this medicinal product may cause articular cartilage damage in an immature human organism or foetus (see section 5.3). As a precautionary measure, it is better to avoid the use of ciprofloxacin during pregnancy.
If a drug is recommended for a pregnant woman, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. You can also take advantage of teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
