Brief Answer:
These drugs do not have adverse effects on mother and baby
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I can understand your concerns.
Both Clindamycin and Clotrimazole belongs to category B drugs.
Category B-Animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.
Hence, these drugs should not cause any concern to both mother and baby.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
