Is cetirizine safe in first trimester of pregnancy?
I've been suffering from allergies and my doctor sometimes prescribes Cetirizine. Now that I'm in my first trimester, is Cetirizine safe to take during early pregnancy? I'm hesitant to use it without confirming.
I panicked like crazy when I accidentally took an allergy pill in my early weeks, but when I asked my gynac, she reassured me and gave me a safe prescription. So don't worry, just speak to your doctor once and they will guide you.
Actually, cetirizine is generally considered safe by some studies, but my doctor clearly told me that during the first trimester, we should avoid all self-medication because the baby's organs are forming. Please check with your doctor for a safe alternative.
I had terrible seasonal allergies right after my delivery and during pregnancy too, but my doctor strictly told me not to take any over-the-counter medicine like cetirizine without asking first. Better to drop a message to your gynac before taking it.
Haan, allergy issues are so annoying, but pregnancy me bina doctor se pooche koi dawai nahi leni chahiye, na? Just give a quick call to your gynac and they will tell you if it's safe for you or not.
I had GD so I was already on a very strict regimen and had to be super careful. When I had a cold, my doctor told me to avoid taking any random allergy pills and suggested steam inhalation instead, so pls ask your doctor first.
