Penicillins as a group are generally believed to be the antibiotics that are safest to use during pregnancy. These drugs have been prescribed extensively in pregnant women, without evidence that they are harmful to the fetus. Examples of this class of antibiotic are penicillin G, penicillin V, ampicillin, amoxicillin, dicloxacillin, and oxacillin.
