| Response from Dr. Cohen
 DEAR WORRIED - ABSOLUTELY No info that I know of suggests that antibiotics plus antivirals increases the risk of a miscarriage. So there is no reason at all to suggest that someone stop antivirals while pregnant when also taking antibiotics. You might ask whoever told you this how they heard this -- and track it down -- since whoever is spreading this one might be doing some damage to whoever believes it. Hope that clarifies. | ||||||||
