Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The drug category of daflon in pregnancy is not specified.
As per the available studies daflon may not lead to major side effects on fetus.
So, if the hemorroidal problem is severe, you may use the drug as advised by your doctor.
If the hemorrhoids are in early stage, possibly local creams and diet management may help.
Avoiding the constipation is main factor in the treatment of hemorrhoids.
Take plenty of water and high fiber diet.
If needed go for laxative with your doctor's advice.
Take care.
