Antibiotic before cervical stitch to prevent infection
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking the antibiotic azithromycin before getting a cervical stitch (cerclage) helps prevent infections and improves pregnancy outcomes. If you're already scheduled for a cerclage, this could help protect you and your baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your water has not broken yet, and you do not have signs of infection in the womb.
