Can you take lysine while pregnant?

Answer 1

Most prescription drugs fall into a risk factor category of A, B, C, D or X. These categories help explain how each drug can effect pregnancy and the baby:

-Category A: Studies have shown no increased risk of fetal abnormalities

-Category B: Studies have not been able to prove an increased risk of fetal abnormalities

-Category C: Studies in animals have shown an adverse effect but no studies have been done on pregnant women or no animal studies have been done and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women.

-Category D: Studies have shown that there is a risk to the fetus

-Category X: Studies clearly show a risk of abnormalities to the fetus

Lysine falls under the pregnancy risk Category C. If you have any other pressing concerns it is advised you speak with your doctor.

Answer 2

I am 38 weeks and just contacted my Ob-gyn...the verdict is still out. He recommended the Lysine cream for external use.

Answer 3

If you need Lysopaine you might need antibiotics and Lysopaine is not to take instead of antibiotics so check with a doctor first so it's not antibiotics you need.
