Are anti inflammatory creams ok to use during pregnancy? i'm concerned as i have been using a topical cream for two weeks

Ok: typically category B or C. systemic distribution of drug, especially if you are using in moderation, is somewhat negligible and probably safe. would certainly not worry about past 2 weeks. there may be slightly more risk late in pregnancy (effect on ductus arteriosis, which is a fetal major blood vessel structure). as always, discuss with the ob. capsaicin (the 'hot' in icy-hot) is alternative
