ideally this drug is not recommended during pregnancy. There are no adequate human or animal studies done to find out the outsome but There are chance of early abortion if the baby is affected. Its like it can be affected all or none effect. Dont worry. just do ur viability scan and know how the heart beat is.

Spiranaloctone is FDA class c drug,it's given during pregnancy if it's benefits outweigh it's risks. In animal studies it's seen that it causes antiandrogenic and oestrogenic effects in the male fetus . There are no documented studies of its effects on human fetus . Consult your doctor and follow her advice
