Pregnant women

Clinical experience with diclofenac in pregnant women is limited, therefore, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, the use of the drug is not recommended. The drug is contraindicated in the third trimester of pregnancy due to the possibility of developing weakness of labor and / or premature closure of the ductus arteriosus. In animals, no harmful effects of the drug on pregnancy or embryonic development, childbirth or postnatal development of the offspring have been detected.

If there are good reasons for using the drug during breastfeeding, when the expected benefit, in the opinion of the doctor, outweighs the potential risk, the drug should not be applied to the mammary glands or large areas of skin and should not be used for a long time.

Children

The drug is not recommended for use in children under 14 years of age. When using the drug in children over 14 years of age for more than 7 days or if the symptoms of the disease worsen, you should seek medical advice.
