Hi,
ThanKs for the query. I understand your concern.
Yes, being local in action.. clotrimazole is safe for use in early pregnancy..(₩where oral clotrimazole is not advisable).
However the vaginal pills will help.. only if you have fungal vaginitis.. which is charactorised by white discharge & itching. In case you don't have such symptoms... you should consult your gyna cologist for pescribtion of suitable medicine.
Thanks
