Is Clindamycin Phosphate Vaginal Cream Safe To Take In The First Trimester?

I am in my first trimester of pregnancy and I was prescribed Clindamycin phosphate vaginal cream, USP. Is it safe to take it? It says for non-pregnant women and pregnant women in their second and third trimesters. I am only 8 weeks, but I don t want to risk causing a miscarriage.

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!

1] Please do not panic.

I will suggest to use Clotrimazole vagianl tablets if needed.
3] Use of LACTACYD wash twice a week is also advisable.
4] Please do not worry, Clindamycin will not lead to miscarriage.
I hope my answer helps you.
