    Hi Stevie,
    Cat A drugs are fine in pregnancy. They are the safest to take. Cat A basically means - it has been taken by a large number of pregnant women over a large period of time, without any harmful effects or abnormalities detected.
    Always check with your pharmacist if the drugs are safe as they have the up to date info - dr's sometimes forget to check!
    HTH.

    As the other girls have said, Cat A drugs are ok during pregnancy.

    I too have just finihed a course of Amoxycillin for a chest infection.
