Is canesten internal cream safe to use in pregnancy?

im 18 weeks pregnant and im not sure if canesten internal cream is safe 2 useIs canesten internal cream safe to use in pregnancy?
i was prescribed canestan cream from my doctor while i was pregnant so it must be safe but i don't trust anyone so i asked a lot of questions like will it harm my baby or are there any side affects my doctor assured me that it was fine and prescribed me the pessary which is a tablet that you insert through a tube and cooling cream to use afterwards





obviously if you have any doubts contact your GP or try using natural yogurtIs canesten internal cream safe to use in pregnancy?
Although Canesten is safe to treat vulvovaginal yeast infections during menstruation, the treatment should ideally not be performed during a period and should be completed before the start of a period.


Hormonal changes during pregnancy increase the risk of vulvovaginal fungal infections which should be treated immediately. Although this is aclassical condition for self-medication, it is highly recommended that pregnant women consult a physician before starting treatment.


During pregnancy it is better to use vaginal tablets because they can easily be inserted without an applicator.


This removes any possibility, however small, of injury to the foetus. Canesten itself is not known to cause any damage and can be used safely during pregnancy.
i,m not sure but i think only if it is prescribed by the doctor. the pharmacy won,t sell it you over the counter if they know you are pregnant. i,d go see the doctor to be on the safe side
if you can avoid it do so


check with gp
Ask a pharmacist.
ring ur doctor and ask,try cranberry juice
speak to your gp before you do anything, right now!!!
