Is this gel suitable during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

The product is a cosmetic gel formulated with three plant-origin bioflavonoids — diosmin, troxerutin, and quercetin — at concentrations typical for leave-on leg care. It contains no ingredients that are categorically prohibited in pregnancy or lactation cosmetics, and it is applied topically to intact skin on the lower limbs, not ingested. However, pregnancy and breastfeeding alter skin sensitivity, circulation, and immune response, and some women develop new reactions to ingredients they previously tolerated. Because the formula includes multiple flavonoid compounds, it is prudent to perform a patch test on a small area of the inner forearm 24 hours before first full-leg application. If you have a history of atopic dermatitis, contact allergy, or varicose veins under medical supervision, discuss the product with your midwife, obstetrician, or dermatologist before incorporating it into your routine. As with any cosmetic during this period, discontinue use if redness, itching, or irritation appears. The gel is not a substitute for prescribed treatments for pregnancy-related edema or venous insufficiency.
