Hi, I am 28 years old. I am 6 weeks pregnant now. Before knowing about my pregnancy I took 1 tablet of Albendazole ip400 mg. I think during 2 nd week I had taken that tablet to deworming. Does it harm my baby?

Literature says Albendazole is a pregnancy class D drug in Australia and pregnancy class C in the United States. It is contraindicated in the first trimester of pregnancy, and should be avoided up to one month before conception. While studies in pregnant rats and rabbits have shown albendazole to be teratogenic, albendazole has been found to be safe in humans during the second and third trimesters However considering this against abortion final decision is to be taken so meet Gynecologist
