Pregnancy of Clocip DUSTING POWD in details
Pregnancy predisposes patients to the development of vaginal candidiasis due to changes in the vaginal tract. Clocip DUSTING POWD has been used in several clinical trials for the treatment of vaginal candidiasis during the second and third trimester without evidence of fetal harm. One trial included 57 patients in their first trimester. Again no adverse effects were attributed to Clocip DUSTING POWD. In a review of 229,101 deliveries to Michigan Medicaid patients, 2624 first-trimester exposures to Clocip DUSTING POWD and 8590 exposures any time during pregnancy were recorded. A total of 118 birth defects were reported with first trimester exposure (112 expected) and included (observed/expected) 27/26 cardiovascular defects, 3/1 spina bifida, 4/4 oral clefts, 9/6 polydactyly, 1 limb reduction, and 6/6 hypospadias. (written communication, Franz Rosa, MD, Food and Drug Administration, 1994) These data do not support an association between first-trimester Clocip DUSTING POWD use and birth defects.
Clocip DUSTING POWD has been assigned to pregnancy category C by the FDA when given as oral troches, and pregnancy category B when used intravaginally or topically. Animals given high doses intravaginally and orally have not shown evidence of teratogenicity. In clinical trials involving women in their second and third trimester, Clocip DUSTING POWD treatment of vaginal candidiasis has not been associated with fetal harm. Clocip DUSTING POWD use has not been well studied during the first trimester. Clocip DUSTING POWD is only recommended for use during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk.
