Gross question

notfrancie

Does anyone know anything about using Diflucan/Flucanzole during pregnancy?  I had one doctor tell me no, but my current OB says it's totally fine and wrote me a prescription.

I have read in several different books as well as from my doctor not to take Diflucan while pregnant.

This is what NIH has to say about it:

 

Notice

[Posted 08/03/2011] ISSUE: FDA is informing the public that treatment with chronic, high doses (400 to 800mg/day) of fluconazole (Diflucan) during the first trimester of pregnancy may be associated with a rare and distinct set of birth defects in infants. This risk does not appear to be associated with a single, low dose of fluconazole 150 mg to treat vaginal yeast infection (candidiasis). Based on this information, the pregnancy category for fluconazole indications (other than vaginal candidiasis) has been changed from category C to category D. The pregnancy category for a single, low dose of fluconazole has not changed and remains category C.
