Which medication is not recommended for fungal infections during pregnancy?

Clotrimazole
Itraconazole
Miconazole
Fluconazole

The correct answer is: Itraconazole

Fungal infections during pregnancy is a tricky situation, as there are not many treatment options available that are safe for both the mother and the unborn baby. Medications such as Itraconazole and Fluconazole have been found to cause harm to the fetus and are therefore not recommended for use during pregnancy. Clotrimazole and Miconazole, on the other hand, are proven to be safe for use during pregnancy and are often prescribed to treat fungal infections.Thus, Option B, Itraconazole, is not recommended for use during pregnancy due to its potential harm to the fetus, making it the correct answer.
