I suffer from asthma, and sometimes I need to use my Asthalin inhaler. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm worried if it's safe to continue using it. Can anyone share their experience or knowledge about Asthalin in pregnancy?
Look, if you have asthma, you can't just stop your medicine because you are pregnant, but you can't take it blindly either. Call your gynac right away and tell them you need to use Asthalin. They will tell you if it's safe for your specific month.
Prayers for your good health, dear. Please stay positive and don't panic, but do check with your doctor before using Asthalin. Your breath is the baby's breath too, so let your doctor guide you on the safest way to manage your asthma.
I have seen many asthmatic moms in this group use Asthalin inhalers safely during pregnancy. However, you should never self-medicate, especially with tablets or syrup versions. Definitely consult your gynac to confirm the safe format and dosage for you.
Asthalin inhalers are generally prescribed to pregnant women because breathing well is vital for the fetus. But you must get this approved by your gynac first. Never take oral asthalin tablets on your own, stick strictly to your doctor's advice.
Having gone through a miscarriage, I was terrified of taking any medicine, even my regular inhalers. But my gynac and pulmonologist explained that keeping my asthma in control is critical for baby's oxygen. Please do not stop or start Asthalin without asking your doctor first.
