A member asked:
Mild yeast infection starting meds. i am 38wks pregnant, i was wondering if the yeast infection medicine would bother my baby if i went into labor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yeast Infection: During pregnancy physicians recommend vaginal creams and suppositories only. The oral medication, Diflucan (fluconazole) (a single-dose medication), has not been proven safe during pregnancy and lactation. If left untreated, yeast infections can pass to your baby's mouth during delivery. This is called "thrush" and is effectively treated with nystatin. See your doctor for treatment.
