Symptomatic relief usually occurs within a few days after starting SULCONAZOLE NITRATE topical solution 1.0%, and clinical improvement usually occurs within 1 week.

🤰 Pregnancy ▾
Pregnancy Pregnancy Category C Sulconazole nitrate has been shown to be embryotoxic in rats when given in doses 125 times the human dose (in mg/kg). The drug at this dose given orally to rats also resulted in prolonged gestation and dystocia. Several females died during the perinatal period, most likely due to labor complications.
Sulconazole nitrate was not teratogenic in rats or rabbits at oral doses of 50 mg/kg/day. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Sulconazole nitrate should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
