<< CDC guidelines for treatment of anthrax

infection in pregnant women recommend either ciprofloxacin or doxycycline

with one or two other antibiotics added for inhalational anthrax or

systemic involvement.......While there are no controlled studies of
ciprofloxacin use in pregnant

women to show safety >>


Yesterday, on NPR (National Public Radio), a report said that doctors are
being urged to give ciprofloxacin and not doxycycline to pregnant women, due
to the risks of doxycycline.
