diflucan pregnancy category

Diflucan is Pregnancy Category C which means it has not been studied in pregnant humans but has caused problems in studies with pregnancy animals. I found the following on women.emedtv.com "When given to pregnant rats or rabbits, Diflucan caused the following problems: Reduced weight gain in the mother Miscarriages Increased weight of the placenta Birth defects, such as cleft palate and head or face abnormalities.

Absolutely do not use a tampon. That's the worst thing you can do. The Diflucan is actually a pregnancy category C which means risk can't be ruled out. But one dose isn't expected to have any harmful effects.

hmmm... what form of terconazole did he write you? diflucan is fluconazole, another anti-fungal. so if the terconazole didn't work, i don't know if the fluconazole will. and they both are category C during pregnancy. it's safer to use anti-fungals in cream or suppository form as they would then not enter the blood stream and carry the potential to cross the placental barrier. But i don't know...

Its miserable for sure. But due to them changing the drug category during pregnancy for the pill (diflucan) I dont feel its safe during pregnancy. The category was changed last year to a C for the first dose during pregnancy and then a D for the second dose. What did you do with the coconut oil?

I know that you cant take diflucan (fluconazole ~generic for diflucan) but I was wondering if there was anything else. My doctors office is not open yet so I will be calling them when they are available, but was wondering if any of you ladies knew anything about this. Any help would be much appreciated!

I've taken 2 Diflucan tablets one one friday and one on Saturday. Monday i started bleeding my period is not due for another week.

I have always started on Wednesday, and randomly the last two months I have started Thursdays. This month I had a yeast infection and took prescription Diflucan. And I had to take to to kill off the yeast infection. I had some bleeding yesterday, so I out in a tampon. I went to change it, and there was no blood on it. So this morning, when I went pee in the morning, there was a lot of blood. So I inserted a tampon and went to change it, and again...very little to no blood.

The baby is literally a bundle of cells at this point. I was also worried about meds I had taken before I knew I was pregnant and my doctor told me just that, and not to worry.

Pregnancy Category D is a stronger warning than a pregnancy Category C classification. However, a pregnancy Category D medicine may still be given to a pregnant woman if the health care provider believes that the benefits to the woman outweigh the possible risks to the unborn child. Klonopin was given a pregnancy Category D rating due to the problems it caused in animal studies.

omg i have a yeast infection and its so bothersome!!

Hi there. Your doctor can call in a prescription for diflucan which clears it up right away. my doctor does that without even seeing you. It's just one pill and works great. Probiotic yogurt such as activia is the yogurt to eat. It helps restore the ph of your vagina.

this is my first pregnancy, and I dont want to take anything to harm the baby. I have had a yeast infection before and my body feel the same way, only this time I dont have the discharge. I also have been told that they are very common in pregnancies. Will you please tell me if I can take a diflucan 150mg?

My dr said it's ok for me to use monistat for my yeast infection, I have tried everything else. Just wondering if anyone else has used it during pregnancy. I'm a bit of a worrier.

Monistat 7 is the safest thing to use during pregnancy. I used it in early pregnancy with my 3 girls and there were healthy. if it was me don't use that prescription, just the Monistat. My doctor that I had, now I'm having my 5th baby and they say Monistat is the safest to use and you can even use the cheapest brand, it's all the same.

The pill you take for yeast is usually diflucan and it is strong...i know its not safe to take during pregnancy because my Dr would not perscribe it to me. There are other creams that you can take that are safe though. Maybe give your Dr a call stating your concerns before you take the pill.

I am almost on my last week of pregnancy and I may have a yeast infection, would taking monistat 7 now be unsafe since I'm so close to delivery? Or can my doctor prescribe me with some kind of medication?

So I have a yeast infection and my doctor told me to use monistat 3 or 5 but at the store they only had the 3 so I just bought that. Well now I'm hearing conflicting things about using monistat 3 while pregnant because it's a category c. Anyone else use this and was it Ok? I'm a little nervous now.

Need to rant lol I'm so frustrated! In the beginning of my pregnancy, I was diagnosed with bv, and was treated for it...and ever since I got treated I've gotten yeast infections every few weeks...today I was diagnosed with chronic yeast and put on a new med to help it...if that doesnt work, she's going to put me on diflucan for a couple weeks...its been so rough! This is my 4th one in 20 weeks and I'm so sick of them...

Has anyone taken diflucan for a yeast infection while pregnant. My doctor gave it to me yesterday and I read that it has Not been proven safe for pregnant or nursing women. And no smart comments about "your doc wont give you anything unsafe to take while prego" because I started bleeding a WHOLE bunch last night/this morning around 1am and I had to go to the hospital. That's why I'm asking.

I am 38 weeks pg., and have had a yeast inf. for about a week and a half...I have taken the Diflucan pill once, a cream (one time application) once, and now the Dr. gave me more Diflucan..... what else can I do???? Should I buy some over the counter monistat and use that too???? It is such a stubborn infection with all these hormones....what the heck do I do at this point??? I am so frustrated. Please help me.
