Meanwhile, according to the instructions for use, candles from thrush Livarol during pregnancy should be taken with extreme caution. In this case, up to 12 weeks, this remedy can not be used categorically, whereas after the end of the first trimester it can be used in the case when the expected benefit for the future mother exceeds the possible risks for the unborn baby.
