Potential fetal injury
Many beriberi drugs contain chemical components that may harm the fetus, such as benzoic acid and salicylic acid. These ingredients may be absorbed by pregnant women through the skin, affecting the normal development of the baby.
Possible allergic reaction
Some ingredients in beriberi medicine may cause allergic symptoms of pregnant women, such as rash and itching. What's more, they may also cause dizziness, nausea and vomiting.
Potential drug interaction risk
If pregnant women are taking other drugs, such as antibiotics or antiviral drugs, beriberi drugs may react with them, affecting the drug effect or increasing the risk of adverse reactions.
Risks of improper treatment
Self-use of beriberi drugs may aggravate the condition. For example, overusing ointment or applying it to broken skin may lead to more serious problems.
Professional advice
For the health of you and your baby, it is best to avoid using beriberi medicine during pregnancy. If you have a problem with your foot, you must consult a doctor and treat it according to professional advice. At the same time, keeping good foot hygiene, choosing breathable shoes and socks and avoiding standing or walking for a long time are all effective methods to prevent beriberi.
