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.Is canesten 2% thrush cream safe in pregnancy?
Data on a large number of exposed pregnancies indicate no adverse effects of Clotrimazole on pregnancy or on the health of the foetus/newborn child. To date, no relevant epidemiological data are available.
Clotrimazole can be used during pregnancy, but only under the supervision of a physician or midwife.
Yes it is safe to use in pregnancy but always consult a Doctor first. For anyone else that is reading this a little know fact is that Canestan damages latex condoms and diaphrams so always keep this in mind for anyone else who may have thrush.
I used Canesten cream when i was pregnant. I spoke to the pharmacist and he said it was fine, but not to use the applicator. He removed the applicator from the box when i brought it.
its fine i used it prescribed when i was pregnant and even the pessary. its really common in pregnancy most women i know used it at some point
