My saas always says to use ginger-tulsi tea for cold and avoid tablets. Better to check with your doctor before taking levocetirizine, just to be safe.
Actually yaar, don't take any OTC allergy pills without asking your gynac. Some medicines are not safe in the first trimester, so just call your doc once.
I was told by my hospital staff never to self-medicate during pregnancy. I always WhatsApp my gynac's assistant before taking any allergy medicine, you should do the same.
According to my pregnancy tracker app, levocetirizine is a category B drug, but it still says to check with your doctor. Best to get a safe prescription directly from your gynac.
I understand how annoying allergies can be, but please be very careful about taking any medicine. Since IVF pregnancies are so delicate, my doctor always told me to double-check before swallowing even a simple pill.
Honestly, steam inhalation is the best and safest solution for allergy or cold during pregnancy. If it's too bad, just call your clinic and ask if they can prescribe a safe alternative.
Oh, please don't take it without asking! I used to search every single salt online and got so scared of side effects. Just message your doctor, they will tell you the safest pill.
