Hi, I have taken, zentel (albendazole), before knowing I was pregnant. Has anybody else done this? Have you gone on to have a healthy pregnancy?
Thank you advance for any replies

I am pretty sure I took some when pregnant with DS2 because I was absolutely desperate and just hoped it would be fine. It was fine :)

It's just because it has the potential to cause diahrroea cramps, I believe, which can trigger contractions in the womb but I tend to think if something was strong enough to cause miscarriage it would be a known abortion method.

Its fine. The benefits of it outweigh the risks. You cant go through a pregnancy with untreated worms can you
