A member asked:

Can i take over-the-counter medications for yeast infections while being 30 weeks pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Most over the counter creams and troches (or vaginal tablets) are considered safe at 30 weeks. If it's a pill taken by mouth, talk to your obstetrician before taking it.
