Hello Lybrate user, greetings now your question is that you have taken 20 days of etoricoxib and thiocolchicoside, along with gabapin nt hundred for 20 days. Etoricoxib is ok gabapin is somewhat ok however the thiocolchicoside is not ok while you are in the first trimester of your pregnancy. I feel that obstetrician will be a better person to ask for if you can continue with the pregnancy it just got to know while you are already taken thiocolchicoside for 20 days. I hope that helps Dr. pratyush gupta.

I think you can continue pregnancy. No need to abort. Back pain get worse in last trimester. But regular walking and pregnancy excersize will help you. No need to worry too much. Good luck.
