Can drotaverine be used in pregnancy?

Question

I'm just trying to gather information about common medications. I wanted to know if Drotaverine is generally considered for use in pregnancy, without me taking it. Is it something that is typically prescribed?

Mere saath bhi stomach pain ka issue tha but I didn't dare to take any medicine. Are you having severe pain or just mild cramps? Let us know if you talk to your gynac!

Yaar, actually never take such pills without asking your gynac first. I had some severe cramps in my first trimester and my doc gave me specific meds, but dropping tablets randomly is a big no-no. Just call your clinic, it's safer.

I had to be so careful with my diet and medicines due to GD. Even for small issues, my doctor monitored everything closely. Please consult your doctor for any medication, don't take it blindly.

Honestly, why take a risk with self-prescription? Drotaverine is a proper medical drug and you shouldn't rely on online advice for this. Just call your doctor's assistant and ask if it's safe for your specific week.

Aneeta Prabhu · Answer

My doctor told me Drotaverine is an antispasmodic used for cramps, but it should only be taken if prescribed. Self-medication is very risky because it depends on which trimester you are in. Please call your doctor before popping any pill.

Oh, is this for stomach pain? I am in my 2nd trimester and my doc strictly told me not to take any medicine on my own. Have you asked your gynac about this yet? I get so scared taking any pills right now.

Dakshina Trivedi · Answer

Please do not take Drotaverine without consulting your gynac first. Any kind of abdominal pain or cramping needs to be evaluated by a professional. Safe side pe rehna is always better in pregnancy.

Usha Srivastava · Answer

Agreed with others, please ask your doctor first. I also had cramps but only took what my gynac prescribed.

Beta, pregnancy me bina doctor se pooche koi bhi davai nahi khani chahiye. Tum thoda aaraam karo aur ghar pe sabko batao. Doctor didi se ek baar phone par baat kar lo, sab theek hoga.

Mihika Venkatesh · Answer

Beta, during pregnancy we should avoid taking any tablets without asking the doctor. If you have stomach pain, try resting on your side or drinking warm water first. Lekin pain jyada ho toh seedha gynac ko dikhao.
