I am 25 weeks pregnant and used diclofenac diethylamine gel for my bach ache for three nights, later realising it is not safe i stopped. is my baby safe?

Yes: Do not worry, your baby is fully formed and the risk is very, very small.

Should be ok: The amount of the drug absorbed and the short term shouldnt have caused a serious problem. Check with your ob/gyn.

Safety in pregnancy: Diclofenac gel used under 30 weeks of pregnancy is category C. 10 % is absorbed if applied topically. Discuss with your Ob , 3 days is not a long term , hence should not have caused the damage. all the best
