[|Human|] i had a threatened abortion, my pregnancy is only 6 weeks, i was admitted for two days, after my discharge, the doctor gave me phenobarbital, when i checked on line , i realize how dangerous the drug can be for the pregnancy. Please i am now more scared, i hope my pregnancy is not under any risk. Please what is the adverse effect of phenorbarbitone? please i need a quick response
[|AI|]  Hallow Dear, Your doubt is valid. Phenobarbital has been assigned to pregnancy category D by the FDA. An increased risk of congenital malformations has been associated with use of phenobarbital during pregnancy. I would not advise you to take this medicine during pregnancy. Phenobarbital should only be given during pregnancy when there are no alternatives and benefit outweighs risk. In fact, Phenobarbital might have been prescribed to you so that you take good bed rest. I feel you should Chat Doctor.  This is not a must medicine for the treatment of threatened abortion. Instead, you may start taking Tab. Sustain which is a Progestational medicine and will help to stabilize your pregnancy. I hope you got the message.
