Pregnant women who take the thrush treatment fluconazole orally appear to have a higher risk of giving birth to a baby with muscle and bone malformations, suggests research published by The BMJ today.

However, the absolute risk is small and there is no association between taking the treatment and babies having heart defects or oral clefts, as previously feared, US researchers found.
