Grossesse et allaitement
- Grossesse
- Unknown Topical antifungal with low skin absorption; little human data. Some EU labels advise avoiding it in pregnancy, especially the 1st trimester. Clotrimazole or miconazole have more pregnancy data and are preferred.
- Allaitement
- Safe Not known whether it passes into milk; skin absorption is low. Some EU labels advise against use while breastfeeding (animal milk data only). Like other topical imidazoles it is not expected to affect the infant; do not apply to the breast, and clotrimazole or miconazole have more data.
Effets indésirables signalés
- Irritation
- Pruritus
- Burning
- Erythema
Contre-indications
- Hypersensitivity to an imidazole antifungal or to any component of the cream.
Précautions particulières
- Experimental hepatic toxicity was seen with systemic administration in several animal species, despite reassuring clinical data and low transcutaneous absorption.
- Systemic effects are unlikely because absorption through healthy skin is very low, but caution is needed on damaged skin, over large areas, or in infants (surface/weight ratio, occlusive effect of nappies).
- Not for ophthalmic use.
Informez votre pharmacien ou votre médecin en cas de grossesse ou d'allaitement, de maladie rénale ou hépatique, d'allergies, ainsi que de tout autre médicament ou complément que vous prenez.
