Is Miconazole Hydrocortisone Safe To Take During The Fourteenth Week Of Pregnancy?

default
Posted on Tue, 22 Aug 2023
Question: I have ringworm all over my body and I'm 14 weeks pregnant. I've been using miconazole nitrate 2% for 2 weeks and it doesn't seem yo be working. I keep on finding more patches on my body.

I've also been using Apple cider vinegar topically and have been having coconut oil and tea tree oil baths.

The pharmacist has given me miconazole hydrocortisone... is this ok to use as it contains a steroid.

I would like a solution as it is really affecting my life...
