Yes but your choice: Icy hot is a pregnancy category c medication which means that it has been studied and has been shown to cause adverse effects in animal studies but there are no adequate studies in humans. It also means that if the potential benefit outweighs the risks, then it is safe to use. I am not sure as to why you would need to use this but if you do, then it is your judgement call.
