Pregnancy And Breastfeeding

To end the list of things about Diclofenac, we want to mention some cautions for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Diclofenac is often not advised during pregnancy. This is due to the possibility that diclofenac could harm your unborn child. For instance, it might impair your baby's blood flow or result in insufficient amniotic fluid around your fetus in the pregnancy. When you are pregnant, your doctor will only recommend that you take diclofenac if the advantages much outweigh the hazards. Other medical procedures might be safer for you. Generally speaking, paracetamol is the best pain reliever to use while pregnant.

Diclofenac is safe to use when nursing. Only a tiny fraction enters breast milk, therefore your infant is unlikely to have any negative consequences. It has been used successfully by many nursing mothers. Talk to your midwife, health visitor, pharmacist, or doctor as soon as you can if you find that your baby is not feeding as well as normal or if you have any other worries about your baby.
