Does Fluconazole Pills Taken During Ovulation Period Cause Birth Defects To Baby?
Hi, I took 2 fluconazole pils during my ovulation period, one 2 days before ovulation and one 5 days after (because I had a fungal infection) I had sex with my husband during my ovulation period. If I would be pregnant, is there a chance for birthdefects because of the fluconazole that i took?
Hey thanks for your faith in the health care Magic I have gone through your question and I understood your problem.
Fluconazole (Diflucan) at a single low dose is pregnancy class C, which means risk to the developing baby cannot be ruled out.
In studies on animals and people, when pregnant mothers took fluconazole in high doses (400 mg/day) for weeks or months, birth defects in the newborn children and animals were sometimes seen. At these doses, fluconazole is considered pregnancy class D – meaning it should absolutely not be taken by a mom-to-be. So I hope you have got your answer. Thanks
