is it safe for 18 wks pregnant to take the piperazin hexamine/Khellin effervescent granules.. once daily for 30 days? (I am aware that this medication is under Category B, that;s why just want to make sure..) thanks a lot for the advice.. have a great day
Hallow Dear, Piperidine salts are used for the treatment of intestinal worms infestation. Piperazine falls into FDA category B. Animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Hence by and large this medicine is considered as safe during pregnancy. However, you have to verify the dose of Piperidine. The dosage depends up on the type of worm infesting. Usually this medicine is not prescribed for continuous one month. However, please get the dosage confirmed from your doctor. Hope this helps you.
