Pregnant women should use DIOCTAHEDRAL SMECTITE with caution during pregnancy. This medication is primarily used to treat diarrhea because of its ability to absorb toxins and prevent water loss. However, although this drug is generally considered not harmful to the fetus, it should be used with caution during pregnancy.
During pregnancy, the use of medications should be avoided as much as possible, especially in the first three months, as this is a critical period for fetal organ development. If this medication must be used, it should be used under a doctor's supervision and at the recommended dosage. At the same time, you should pay attention to any possible side effects, such as abdominal discomfort, worsening diarrhea, etc., and seek medical treatment in time.
In general, medications, including DIOCTAHEDRAL SMECTITE, should be avoided as much as possible during pregnancy. If you have diarrhea or other diseases that require treatment, you should consult a doctor and use medications under the guidance of a doctor. Maintaining good eating and living habits is also an important way to maintain health.
