Clotrimazol Cream During Pregnancy
Candid (Clotrimazole 1% Topical Cream) has
been classified by the US FDA as Pregnancy
Category B.
Clotrimazole is very poorly absorbed following dermal
application or intravaginal administration to humans.
During clinical trials, use of vaginally applied Clotrimazole
in pregnant women in their second and third trimesters
has not been associated with ill effects.
There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled
studies conducted in pregnant women during the first
trimester of pregnancy.
Studies in pregnant rats with intravaginal doses up to 100
mg/kg have not shown any evidence of harm to the fetus
due to Clotrimazole.
