The only one that is even remotely concerning is the Metranidazole, which despite never have caused a known birth defect, is still contraindicated for the first trimester. Amoxil and Paracetramol (which I think is Acetomenophen) is safe at any time in pregnancy. Ibuprofen is safe until the 3rd trimester.
