Is there any treatment for toxoplasmosis during pregnancy?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 03/30/2022

Yes, pregnant women who have been infected with toxoplasmosis should take the antibiotic Spiramycin to reduce the probability of transmission to the fetus. On the other hand, in case the fetus is also affected, the appropriate treatment will be Pyrimethamine and Sulfadiazine to reduce the damage to the baby.

After birth, the baby will have to continue with the treatment for at least one year.
