Caution is advised when using clotrimazole (topical) during pregnancy. Clotrimazole is a topical medication that is commonly used to treat Candida infections, such as vaginal Candida infections. Clotrimazole should be used with caution during pregnancy and preferably only on the advice of a doctor. Some research suggests that using clotrimazole during pregnancy might cause harm to the fetus, such as an increased risk of birth defects. Therefore, clotrimazole should be avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor deems it essential for treatment.
Always tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Your doctor will assess your condition and the risks of the medication and give you appropriate advice. Please do not stop or start using clotrimazole or other medicines on your own as this may affect the health of you and your fetus.
Before taking any medication, you should consult your doctor to ensure its safety and effectiveness. I hope you and your baby are healthy and safe.
