Can pregnant women use peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate)?

Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate): Adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women have not been done. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. http://www.drugs.com/pro/peridex.html
