Effects of Diflucan on Fetus

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of the effects of Diflucan on fetus, during pregnancy in women. There have been reports of multiple congenital abnormalities in infants whose mothers were treated with high dose (400 to 800 mg/day) Diflucan therapy for coccidioidomycosis (an unapproved indication). Exposure to Diflucan began during the first trimester in all cases and continued for 3 months or longer. Diflucan is not recommended in pregnant women unless the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to mother and fetus.

Now since there are no adequate studies on pregnant women to assess the potential for fetal risk, Diflucan should not be used in pregnant women unless your doctor' recommends so.

Consult your doctor properly before you think of beginning Diflucan medication.
