Penicillins are generally considered safe for use in women planning to become pregnant. They are a widely used class of antibiotics that work by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell lysis and death. Penicillins are effective against various infections, including those caused by Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative bacteria. Some studies suggest that antibiotics can affect cervical mucus production and may cause secondary yeast infections. These yeast infections can, in turn, make chart reading difficult. Since penicillins have a long history of use and are typically well-tolerated, they are often prescribed during pregnancy when necessary. However, it’s important for women planning pregnancy to consult their healthcare provider for personalized advice, especially regarding any specific health conditions or concerns.
