Not sure about safe brands but I consulted my gynae about the same issue and he said it’s okay to use medicated plasters moderately. Always good to double check with your gynae in any case.

Many websites advise against using it but my gynae said Tiger balm is fine, at the end of the day you just need some relief(: Maybe check with your gynae..?

Ok thx, I'll check with him tmr

Maybe you can apply warm compress and stretch out the shoulder. I don’t think medicated plasters are safe

I checked with my gynae today.. he said once in a while is ok.. but he suggest to use after 4th months.

I used Tiger Balm (green) plaster and my gynae said it was ok, just not too often. Hope that helps!

for me I avoid using medicated items... I just ask my hubby to help me massage

It's external plaster shouldn't be too much of a concern?

Ask someone to massage u.. dont use medicated oil..

I was using salonpas😳as I didn’t know

Hi, I think shoulder massage should help
