None of the medications used in the treatment of arthritis is absolutely
safe during pregnancy. Hence, the decision to use medications should be made after careful assessment of the risks and benefits in consultation with the patient. Pain control through nonmedical management (eg, paraffin baths, decrease in physical activity, splinting, cold packs)or steroids(if utmost necessity is there) is preferred. During the first trimester, most of the drugs should be avoided.
