Antibiotic during labor to prevent infections
Part of Genetic & congenital, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests if giving an antibiotic called azithromycin during labor can help prevent infections in mothers and babies. It is for pregnant women without signs of infection who go into labor naturally or are induced.
