Can i take atarax during pregnancy until my due date?

Question

I have really bad itching at night and my doc had mentioned this earlier. Now im near the end and wondering if its fine to continue it right up to delivery. Will confirm with her, but anyone been on it long term?

Please dont decide this on your own, especially taking it right up to your due date. Only your gynac can say if and how long it is safe for you. Call her before continuing it.

Any medicine being taken regularly through pregnancy really needs the doctor watching it. I had to adjust my meds based on what my doctor said at each stage. Please dont continue atarax till due date without her clearing it.

Honestly for something taken continuously like this, only your treating doctor can guide. They balance your need against the babys safety. Dont rely on general answers, ask the one who prescribed it.
