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.
