Sulconazole has been shown to be embryotoxic in a study of rats given 125 times the human dose (in mg/kg) and also resulted in prolonged gestation and dystocia. There are no adequate or controlled studies in pregnant women, therefore sulconazole should only be used during pregnancy if potential benefit justifies potential risk to the fetus.
