A member asked:

I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and was prescribed terconazole 0.8 this evening. i wasn't informed that it was not advised during the first trimester?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is a pregnancy: category C drug and generally should not be prescribed in pregnancy,but one must weigh the risk/benefit ratio when using. Your provider may feel that the benefits of using this drug outweigh the risks to the fetus. I would not take this drug till you talk to the prescribing Dr. and be sure this is what he/she wants to do.

Dr Mcneal and another doctor agreed
