I occasionally get dizzy spells and was prescribed Betahistine for it in the past. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm wondering if it's safe to take this medication. Is Betahistine safe in pregnancy?
Please do not take betahistine or any other vertigo medication on your own during pregnancy. It is very important to consult your gynaecologist first as they will prescribe something that is completely safe for the baby.
I remember having terrible dizziness when my little one was in my tummy, but my doctor was very strict about avoiding strong medicines. It's much safer to get yourself checked by your gynac before taking betahistine.
Oh dear, please don't stress too much, dizziness can be common due to blood pressure changes. But honestly, please don't take betahistine without asking your doctor first, safety is always first!
I felt so lightheaded and dizzy during my early weeks and it was really scary. But when I asked my doctor, she strictly warned me against taking any general tablets like betahistine, so please check with your gynac first.
Betahistine isn't something you should take without a doctor's green light because clinical data on it during pregnancy is quite limited. Just call your gynac and let them prescribe a safer alternative for your dizziness.
When I felt dizzy, my MIL made me lie down and drink glucose water, which really helped. My doctor also told us never to take random medicines like betahistine without her direct prescription during these nine months.
