Is it dangerous to use Vitarub if I am pregnant?

35-year-old womana year ago

Hello, I just came back from an appointment at the physiotherapist and they applied a heating cream (Vitarub). I told them I was 15 weeks pregnant and they told me it was safe to use. When I came back, I read that it was not recommended. I am very worried.

Hello madam, in fact I have not found any concrete data on its safety during pregnancy, so I am inclined to suggest avoiding its application.

Sincerely,
