A member asked:

Is petadolex safe during pregnancy? i have migraines and idiopathic intercranial hypertension 7 weeks pregnant

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weighing risks: After reading up on the history of petasites (butterbur) used for migraine headaches, as an obstetrician gynecologist I would be cautious using petalodex and would weigh the potential risks and benefits carefully. https://www.neurology.org/content/78/17/1346/reply
