LAMISIL cream during pregnancy

4 replies

I was prescribed Lamisil cream 2 weeks ago by a GP (who knew I am pregnant) but a different GP today said to stop using it as its safety is not established in pregnant women.

Now I don't know what to think and am worried about the baby.

Anyone else used Lamisil cream during pregnancy or know anything about it?

Thanks

I think (and a quick google confirms) its one of those 'hasn't been tested/can't say it's safe but its probably ok' types. I doubt it's done much harm. Where are you applying it?

My lower leg

It's unlikely to have done any direct harm then! I'd stop using it if that's what your doctor suggested but I think it should be ok. Geberly they can only say what's definitely not ok e.g. Ibuprofen

Hope you're right. Just a bit worried, as well as annoyed that a GP would have prescribed it if it isn't advised during pregnancy. The problem for which it was prescribed is pretty minor
