Can I use this gel-balm during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

The product is a cosmetic leg gel, not a medicinal treatment, but it contains leech extract and other active cosmetic ingredients. Because safety data for these specific ingredients during pregnancy and lactation may be limited, the manufacturer recommends consulting a doctor, midwife, or pharmacist before incorporating it into your routine. This is a standard precaution for any topical product with biologically active extracts when used regularly over large areas like the legs. If you receive clearance, apply only to intact skin, use a thin layer, and discontinue if any irritation or discomfort occurs. The same advice applies if you are using prescribed vein-related medications or have a diagnosed vascular condition — professional guidance helps avoid unwanted interactions.
