A member asked:

Is terbinafine 250 mg two weeks safe while pregnant? i was prescribed it by my doc for my fungal skin infection. but i think i may be pregnant now.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

As far as we know..: No adverse affects on the baby have been seen with Terbinafine. However, medical science is imperfect. Tomorrow something bad might be found. The best policy is take only those medicines that are absolutely necessary. Best wishes!
