Can I use a clotrimazole vaginal cream treatment (e.g. Canesten) if I am pregnant?

Hello madam, this product is safe during pregnancy. However, it is recommended to treat for a longer period of time, with the "6 days" product concentrated at 1%.

I will remain available if you have any other questions!

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
