My skin has been itching a lot and someone at home suggested avil. Im 20 weeks now and thoda scared to take anything on my own. Did anyone take this during pregnancy?
Honestly, as a sleep-deprived mom who would love some uninterrupted sleep right now, I still wouldn't take Avil! Jokes aside, my doctor strictly told me to avoid it when I had a cold during my pregnancy. Call your gynac, they have much safer ways to handle allergies than this.
Oh ho, do not pop that Avil 25 like a regular mint! It's super drowsy anyway and not something you should take without your doctor's nod. If you have an allergy, call your gynac so they can give you something that doesn't put you and the baby into a 12-hour sleep mode!
Having gone through a long journey with PCOS to finally get pregnant, I became extremely cautious about every single pill. Avil is generally not recommended unless your gynac explicitly says so. Please don't take any risk and talk to your doctor first for a safer allergy option.
According to my pregnancy tracker app and what my doctor confirmed, Avil 25 is category C, meaning it is not completely proven safe for pregnancy. It is always best to avoid it and ask your doctor for a safer first-line antihistamine. Better to log your symptoms in your app and discuss them on your next visit!
Even I am in my second trimester now and was wondering about allergies, but my doc told me to avoid taking Avil 25 on my own. It is a strong antihistamine and might not be fully safe unless prescribed. Did anyone else get a safe allergy medicine from their gynac? I'm so scared of taking the wrong pill.
I also panicked when I got severe hives in my first trimester and almost took an Avil, but thankfully I called my gynac first. She gave me a much safer alternative that worked perfectly. Don't worry, allergies are very common in pregnancy, just let your doctor prescribe the right medicine.
