My wife is 9 month pregnant .but wrongly she has taken clingen vaginal push orally. 9 tablet orally. Will it affect my baby?

Question

It is unlikely that using clindamycin increases the chance of birth defects. Two human studies and several animal studies have not shown an increased chance of birth defects. One study reported a slightly higher chance of birth defects among 380 women who filled prescriptions for clindamycin in their first trimester. Cotrimoxazole is widely prescribed to treat a range of infections, and for hiv-infected individuals it is administered as prophylaxis to protect against opportunistic infections. Some reports suggest that fetuses exposed to cotrimoxazole during early pregnancy may have an increased risk of congenital anomalies.
