I've been taking Cefuroxime for about 2 days for UTI when my husband & I had sexual contact (once only). And it's my fertile week. I'm just a little bit worried that if ever I get pregnant, there will be an effect on my baby. Will i still continue taking it for my UTI or should i change it to Cefalexin 500 mg, 3x a day for another 7 days? Thanks so much

I would change .....just to be on the safe side. Cefalexin is a antibiotic that is also prescribed while you are pregnant and is totally safe for you and possible fetus. For more information, you can serch the web for the medicine you are taking, and at Webmd, you find accurate information. Best of luck to you.

some antibiotics are prescribed to pregnant women to treat UTI ('cause UTI is very common among pregnant women)
it's better to ask your doctor about it to check whether Cefuroxime is safe for pregnant women or not.
