Hi, I would like to talk to someone who could explain to me the effects of Avelox on my baby. You see, I am four months pregnant and two months ago I was on an Avelox therapy. At that time I wasnt aware I was pregnant. Now I am worried about the consequences of this therapy. The doctor says my baby is probably fine, but I am not convinced. Could you tell me what should I expect?

Hi, I am very sorry to hear about your situation. I can understand how worried you must be about your baby. But, I am afraid that every doctor in the world would give you the same answer as the one your doctor gave you. There is a great chance your baby will be just fine. Your doctor told you this because there are no studies available to point otherwise. The safety of use of this drug while being pregnant has not yet been determined. This means that it is best not to use it while a woman is pregnant, but you didnt know you were pregnant at the time the drug was prescribed to you so you should hope for the best. I feel I should also tell you that even though there are no tests to prove the safety of Avelox use while being pregnant, there are some tests performed on pregnant animals that show some bone development problems in fetuses while the animals were on therapy with the quinolones, a group of drugs that Avelox belongs to. Again, Avelox is not recommended for treatment of pregnant women, unless the benefits outweigh the risks and there is nothing I can say that will give you one hundred percent reassurance your baby is not affected by Avelox. You should have faith in your doctors judgment and hope for the best.

I'm currently in the same situation as you were back in July of last year. I wanted to see if you share with me what happened. I would really appreciate your feedback.

I was prescribed 2 3-week courses of Avelox with prednisone in 2006 for a fungal ear infection. I was 8 weeks pregnant and still nursing a baby. The baby developed an itchy scaly rash on one half of his body (from the midline). The fetus was found to be dead at 11 weeks. Avelox stops cell division. It is shown to disrupt dog and rat pregnancies, and cause fetal malformations in a certain percentage of them.
Doctors are assumed to be trained and careful, but often they're not.

I am 4 months pregnant and I was on Avelox 400 for 7 days approximately two months ago. Despite my doctor's comforting remarks, I am extremely worried about the condition of my baby. I have noticed that you were in a similar situation once. Is it possible for you to share the outcome of your pregnancy?
