I'm 30 weeks pregnant and my doctor has prescribed me albendazole, but I'm a bit worried because the tablet says not to take it during pregnancy. Is it really safe for me to use it while pregnant?

Fever and stomach pain may indicate a gastrointestinal infection. - Loud farts and subsequent watery diarrhea without stool suggest a possible gastrointestinal infection, such as gastroenteritis or food poisoning. - The sudden change from farts to watery diarrhea may indicate a bacterial or viral infection. _Recommendations_ 1. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or oral rehydration solutions. 2. _Bland diet_: Continue with a bland diet, like khichdi, rice, and bananas. 3. _Rest_: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover. 4. _Medical attention_: If your symptoms worsen, or you experience severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or bloody stools, seek medical attention.

Question

I've been having irregular periods just this month, and my gynaecologist put me on Deviry 10mg twice a day for five days. I've taken only two doses so far and I'm noticing some light spotting. I'm a bit worried about whether this is normal and what I should do. Any advice would be really helpful.

Question

I'm 45 days late and I've already done a few home pregnancy tests and even a blood pregnancy test within 30 days of missing my period, all of them were negative. The doctor gave me primolutn for 5 days, 3 times a day, and said I would get my periods in the next 5 days after finishing the pills, but it's been 9 days now and still nothing. I'm feeling really tired lately, my body aches, my breasts are super tender, and I've put on some weight that's not going away, plus lots of mood swings. I felt cramps a few times before I started the pills but no period or even spotting has happened yet, and I feel like I have a UTI because I'm peeing all the time. I'm supposed to see the doctor after I finally get my period for those day 2 tests. What's going on with me? Could I actually be pregnant even though the pregnancy tests are saying no?
