Skin doc had given me this for a fungal infection but that was before i knew i was pregnant. Now im 9 weeks and worried if i should continue or stop. Will double check with my gynac but anyone took it during pregnancy?
Listen to me, please do not take itraconazole on your own. Many oral antifungals are not considered safe for the baby. Just visit your doctor and let them prescribe something that is completely safe for your trimester.
Since I had thyroid issues, I had to see my doctor very regularly and she warned me never to self-medicate for skin or fungal issues. Please show this to your gynecologist during your next follow-up and let them suggest a safe treatment.
Haan na, taking such medicines without asking the doctor can be very risky during these months. Even for small issues, we have to be so careful, ho na. Please call your gynac and ask for a safe alternative.
My doctor specifically told me that oral itraconazole is generally not recommended during pregnancy because it can carry risks for the baby. If you have a fungal infection, they usually prescribe safe topical creams instead. Please consult your gynecologist before taking any dose.
I actually had a fungal infection last month and wanted to take something, but I got scared. Is itraconazole a pill or a cream? My doctor told me to avoid oral antifungals completely, so please check with your gynac before taking it.
Please don't take any such medicines without asking your doctor first. It is always safer to be cautious during pregnancy. Hope you feel better soon, dear.
