Hello ma'am,

How long have you been using Nizoral, and how often? Has it been effective for you?

If it has been effective, yes you can use it during pregnancy (and breastfeeding as well, if applicable), as directed by your doctor or pharmacist (1-2 times per week depending on whether in treatment or maintenance).

Cordially,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
