Hi , my wife is pregnant (20 weeks) , she got ringworm in thighs/under belly/neck. She got itching and unable to sleep the whole nights. When we visited dermatologists they gave Avil 25, FLUCONAZOLE 150 mg for 7 days and some creams. Kindly suggest whether we can go ahead and use the medicine.
Hello, Fluconazole can be taken safely from twenty weeks of pregnancy. Fluconazole is an above group of antifungal which is commonly prescribed to treat a variety of fungal infections like ringworm. It may harm an unborn baby if taken in high doses daily during the first three months of pregnancy. Continue taking treatment as prescribed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
