Using Drysol or Certain Dry During Pregnancy

This is just my opinion...I don't know ANYTHING about the product you are asking about. However, with it being Category C drug, I would not take it. The way I see it is that if anything was wrong with my baby, I would always question whether that might have caused it....can you live with the sweatiness for the next 7 months...for peace of mind later? That was my philosophy with so many things during my pregnancies (hair color, caffeine, etc...)

I wouldn't use it. There are too many cases of childhood cancer now a days. And science can't tell us why. Well I think I can. There is an overuse of chemicals in our society. From our food supply to our body lotions, to all the weed n feed lawn fertilizers. Being pregnant I would be trying my hardest to eat only organic foods and staying away from lotions and stuff that's not all natural. Did you ever hear that saying......if you can't eat it, don't put it on your skin.
I'm just sayin... I wouldn't risk it.

email the company that makes the product both certain dry and your perscription. They may have case studies done also google and find any info on the net. I had to be put on a class c heartburn med during my pregnancy I had no choice I was in pain and losing weight. My baby was fine and if you only have to use 2 or 3 treatments you should be okay. I think contacting the company is a good idea and if your doc says its okay you should be good to go. Congrats.

I don't have any experience with the product you're asking about, but I would be comfortable using it if your doctor thinks it's ok and you think you need it. Emailing the company isn't going to do you any good. Category C means that no studies exist showing any harm to the baby - if the company had data one way or the other, the drug wouldn't be a category C.

As a comparison, the prenatal vitamin I was put on with my first pregnancy had a higher dose of iron for my anemia. To counteract the constipating effects of the iron, it also contained colace - which is a category C drug. If they put one in a prenatal vitamin designed to be taken by pregnant women, I don't think the label means much.
