A member asked:

Why would taking medication for thrush be so dangerous for pregnancies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends : On the medication. Diflucan (fluconazole) (common medication for thrush) can cause liver problems and low white cells both of which are nor desirable in non pregnant people and definitely not in pregnancy.
