Hello,

You are having ankle strain pain for which you want to use a topical cream. Topical balm absorbs only superficially and acts superficially to relieve pain. So don't worry about usage in pregnancy. If you are taking an oral tablet than be precautious.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
