Is apirin cortal safe in pregnant?

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is generally not recommended for pregnant women unless specifically prescribed by a healthcare professional. If taken during pregnancy, aspirin can cross the placenta and reach the fetus, potentially causing harmful effects.

During the first trimester (first 12 weeks of pregnancy):

-Aspirin may increase the risk of miscarriage and is not recommended unless essential for specific medical conditions.

During the second and third trimesters (13 weeks onwards):

-Regular use of aspirin can prolong pregnancy, increase the risk of bleeding during delivery, and cause problems with blood clotting in both the mother and the baby.

-Aspirin may lead to the premature closure of the ductus arteriosus, a blood vessel in the fetus's heart that normally closes after birth.

-It can also increase the risk of developing a condition called Reye's syndrome in children if given to pregnant women near the time of delivery.

Overall, pregnant women should avoid taking aspirin unless specifically prescribed by a healthcare provider who is aware of the potential risks and benefits in the individual situation. Other alternative pain relievers or medications might be more appropriate for managing pain or other conditions during pregnancy.
