Is it safe to take nizonide during pregnancy? - drelizabethblackburn - 12-16-2024
Nizonide (nitazoxanide) is an antiparasitic medication used to treat infections such as giardiasis or cryptosporidiosis. During pregnancy, the safety of Nizonide has not been well established due to limited studies. Pregnant women should only take nizonide if clearly needed and prescribed by a healthcare provider after carefully evaluating the potential risks and benefits. It is crucial to avoid self-medication during pregnancy, as certain drugs can affect fetal development. Always consult your doctor before taking Nizonide or any other medication while pregnant, ensuring both maternal and fetal safety.
