I had a bad body ache yesterday and almost took meftal out of habit before i stopped myself. Im 7 weeks pregnant. Now im scared even thinking about it. Did anyone ask their doctor about this medicine during pregnancy?
Honestly with any medicine in pregnancy the safest answer is to confirm with your treating doctor. Whats fine for one trimester may not be for another. A two minute call saves a lot of worry.
Generally that group of medicines is not advised in pregnancy, but i really cant tell you yes or no, it depends on your stage and condition. Best is a quick call to your doctor, they will give you the right and safe alternative.
I wouldnt take it on my own. During both pregnancies my doctor told me to avoid such anti inflammatory tablets and only take what she prescribed. Ring your gynac before taking anything, even something you took before pregnancy.
Please dont take Meftal in pregnancy without your doctor saying so. These kind of painkillers are generally avoided especially in later months. For any pain or fever, call your gynac and ask what is safe for you, they usually suggest a safer option.
