I've been prescribed Candid CL for a vaginal infection. I'm in my first trimester, and I'm very concerned about taking any medication. Is Candid CL safe to use during pregnancy?
Vaginal infections are very common during pregnancy due to hormonal changes. Candid CL is often prescribed by gynacs, but since everyone's case is different, please get your doctor's nod before starting it.
Please do not use any vaginal suppositories without your doctor's direct prescription. I had some spotting issues and my doctor was very specific about what could be safely used. Get a proper checkup done first.
My gynecologist prescribed this to me in my second trimester for a yeast infection, and it worked well without any issues. Just make sure you get the green light from your own doctor first.
I totally understand how uncomfortable vaginal infections can be during this time, dear. My doctor prescribed Candid CL to me and it really helped, but please check with your own gynac before using it.
I keep reading that infections are common, so I am also curious about what is safe. Did your doctor specifically prescribe Candid CL, or are you thinking of buying it over the counter? Better to ask them first!
Oh god, those infections are the absolute worst! My doctor gave me Candid CL too when I had one, so don't stress too much. Just send a quick WhatsApp to your gynac to double-check if it's fine for you.
Usually, clotrimazole is considered safe in pregnancy, but Candid CL has clindamycin too, so doctor's advice is a must. My app always warns against self-medicating for infections, so please call your clinic.
