Post by: coolio567 on Jan 25, 2018 A 31-year-old woman is 20 weeks pregnant and has sought care because of a vaginal yeast infection. She has requested fluconazole from her care provider, citing the successful treatment of previous cases of candida vaginitis with this drug.
How should her care provider respond? A) Fluconazole has actually been linked to severe birth defects, so you should certainly avoid it while you're pregnant. B) You can safely take fluconazole while you're pregnant, but you'll need lower doses for a longer time than you would otherwise. C) Yes, you can take fluconazole because it doesn't cross your placenta and get to your baby. D) Fluconazole isn't absolutely prohibited during pregnancy, but we need to consider carefully whether you need it.
