There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant or lactating women. To date, no other relevant epidemiological data are available. Data on a limited number of exposed pregnancies indicate no adverse effects of topical ketoconazole on pregnancy or on the health of the foetus/newborn child. Animal studies have shown reproductive toxicity at doses that are not relevant to the topical administration of ketoconazole.
Plasma concentrations of ketoconazole are not detectable after topical application of Daktarin Intensiv cream to the skin of non-pregnant humans (See Pharmacokinetic properties, section 5.2). There are no known risks associated with the use of Daktarin Intensiv cream in pregnancy or lactation.
This medicine has no influence on the ability to drive and use machines.
