Is it safe for people trying to conceive consume Adapalene topical?

I have a breakouts on face and in the same time planning to having a baby (conceive) and I have done some research on google about some products that I can’t consume it during the process to conceive or during pregnancy … I’m still confuse whether I can consume it or not?

Hi and thank you for your inquiry. This is a general answer to the question asked. Please click on this link (DoctorOnCall) to talk to us privately.

Adapalene is a topical medication used for acne and there are no trials on pregnant women that shows dangerous side effects being done and animal studies have shown to have some adverse effects. Thus this product is labelled as grade C in pregnancy which means it should be used with caution even though it is only applied on the skin and there’s only minimal absorption through the system. If you are worried about what medication is safe to use during pregnancy, it is important to note that during pregnancy the skin and acne problems usually improved in some cases. If the problems still persist, you can inquire more on the alternatives for acne problem during pregnancy through this link (DoctorOnCall) or this link (DoctorOnCallEPharma). Thank you.
