I was in my 20th wk of pregnancy when my sonography report showed IUFD. One month later I underwent TORCH test and my reports show: Herpes Antibody (IgG) 15.4 Rubella Antibody (IgG) 75 Cytomegalovirus Antibody (IgG) 58 My gyno has prescribed NATCLOVIR 250 thrice a day for three wks. What is th purpose of this medication? Will have complications in future pregnancies?
Hi,Natclovir-250 is used to treat CMV infection. Based on the ultrasound report you had TORCH syn Chat Doctor.  Following this infection your body will produce enough antibodies to fight the virus during future outbreaks, so it will not be causing complications in the future pregnancies however, early detection by screening tests during pregnancy and treatment of an infection can prevent complications in newborns. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
