Worming tablets while pregnant

I have had to dose the whole family as one of the kids definatly had worms and I highly suspected I had them too, I had the classic signs.

I talked the the chemist and they said although the box says consult a Doctor its just a precaution and actually there is no harm as all the tablets do is stop the worms being able to get glucose out of the digested food.

I am not really worried as I had to do something to get rid of them, Just wondering if anyone here has had to take these while pregnant?

Yeah I just googled it... Google really isn't your friend. I'm freaking out now, I really hope I havent harmed my wee monkey

As a teacher I would usually take it during the Easter holidays as a precaution. My GP suggested not to do it as a precaution, only if I felt like I actually had them.

I'm no Dr, but surely you haven't done any harm- like you say it only stops them from getting glucose form the system- totally seperate to baby stuff, yeah?.

Talk to dr or MW tomorrow and I am sure they will be able to put ur mind to rest.

Tray - I agree the tablet would a better alternative to effects of worms... and pharmacists are generally pretty knowledgeable to the risks... Don't stress I say
