Question 1

Question 2

Mederma: Yes it is safe as long as you do not have an allergy to onions. It can be used for stretchmarks during pregnancy. Out of an abundance of caution do not use during first trimester.

No problem!: Mederma is only an onion extract, so no. Whatever you are using it for will unlikely be improved, as well..

Question 4

can i us mederma stretch mark crean while i am pregnant? is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Mederma: From what I have read, there are no controlled human studies to determine adverse fetal effects. Since topically applied medications can be absorbed through the skin and get onto the blood stream, i would not use the product while pregnant.

Question 5

is mederma for scars safe during pregnancy? active ingredient is allantoin 0.5 %

Accepted Answer

No data.: Mederma has never been tested on pregnant women, to my knowledge, so there is no data one way or the other. My standard advice for anyone who is pregnant is, if it's not essential, don't use it until you deliver the baby. Why take unnecessary chances?
