Hi, yes it is quite safe in pregnancy as it's a local acting, not absorbed in the gut it helps to relieve constipation which is very common in pregnancy. But i'll suggest the patient to have healthy fiber rich diet e. G. Green vegetables, salads, fruits instead of juice & multigrain atta for chapattis. Must drink plenty of water, regular walk, so she will not need laxatives.
