Thus, Amoxicillin refers to drugs with a wide spectrum of action.
Can I take Amoxicillin with pregnant women?
The answer to this kind of question is of interest to women who have experienced colds during pregnancy.
If you refer to the instructions for this drug, it indicates that its use during fetal gestation is permissible only for medical purposes.

A woman, however, must fully and unquestioningly carry out all medical instructions and observe the indicated dosage, the frequency of admission. Only in this case it will be possible to avoid negative consequences.
