There are no difficulties in choosing a drug, because pharmacies offer a wide range. However, not all ointments can be used during pregnancy. Thus, you should avoid taking ointments that contain components containing snake and bee venom. If the drug contains Diclofenac or Dimexide, you will also have to stop using such a drug.
