Can I use Clofranil during pregnancy?

Hi, Welcome to iclinq.com. Clofranil (Clomipramine) should not be used in pregnancy. It is a category C drug that means if potential benefits justify the risk to the fetus, then you can use. As far as of now no well-controlled studies in humans, but it will not cause anomalies but it may affect your neonate after delivery like seizures, jitteriness, tremors, and dullness may occur. These symptoms will occur to your baby as withdrawal symptoms after delivery.

Is vaginal swelling normal during sexual intercourse?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. As per your history, swelling is temporary so do not worry. It may occur due to an allergy to condoms, vaginal douches, ragged intercourse, infections, and less lubrication but you said you do not have any problem with lubrication. If it is only temporary swelling means no need of treatment but if persists then let me know. Get urine routine examination, pelvic examinations and check for sexually transmitted infections (STI’s).
