Cuba, 6 weeks pregnant, precautions for Zika? Is Pepto Bismol and Kaopectate allowed?

During pregnancy, it is important to take precautions when traveling to areas where Zika virus is present. It is recommended to avoid certain medications, such as Pepto-Bismol and Kaopectate, for diarrhea during pregnancy. Instead, it is advised to have an antibiotic on hand for traveler's diarrhea and to use rehydration solutions like Gastrolyte until the symptoms subside. If you have concerns or experience prolonged diarrhea, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional.
