Tab saaz is fda category b drug ,it can be taken during pregnancy if required ,its use is not associated with increased fetal congenital anomalies or abortions .but if trying to conceive with tab saaz you should start taking tab folvite 5 mg twice daily. Tab hcq is fda category c drug ,it should be taken only if its use outweighs it's risk. You should consult your doctor, depending upon the severity of arthritis he will decide. Mostly patients get relieved of arthritic pain during pregnancy.
