topical antibiotic

July 09, 2008

Hi! My face has been breaking out very badly since I have been pregnant (I am due Feb. 17th). I have a prescription for Clindamycin Phosphate gel, 10, mg., which I am supposed to apply to my face. I was wondering if this is safe to use during my precgnancy. I have had two recent miscarriages, one in March, and one in last June, so I am kind of worried. Thank you!

my dr. said it was ok last june when i was pregnant, then i miscarried... then again in march. (i don't really trust my dr.s advice) so i called dermatologist this a.m. they said i shouldn't use it. they gave me RX for erythromycin 2% gel, and said this was safe to use. is it?
