My allergies have flared up so badly with constant sneezing and i used to take allegra before. Im 16 weeks now and scared to take anything without checking. Planning to ask my gynac but wanted to know if anyone took it?
Don't worry, allergies can be really irritating, but please don't self-medicate right now. Some allergy meds are safe, but only your doctor can tell you if Allegra is okay for your specific week of pregnancy. Just drop a quick message to your gynac's team to confirm.
Beta, it is always better to avoid strong English medicines unless absolutely necessary. For cold or allergy, try taking steam with a drop of eucalyptus oil or drink warm water with honey. Please ask your doctor before taking any tablets.
I had to manage my thyroid medication throughout my pregnancy, so I was always very careful about adding any other pills. My doctor specifically told me to never take over-the-counter allergy meds like Allegra without asking. Do check with your doctor during your regular follow-up.
My mother kept suggesting warm turmeric milk for my allergy, which did help a little bit. But for actual tablets like Allegra, I strictly followed my doctor's advice. Please consult your gynecologist before taking it, they know what is safest for the baby.
Since I had a history of PCOS, I was extremely cautious about taking any medicine during pregnancy. I avoided taking even simple allergy tablets without checking with my clinic first. Please call your doctor before taking Allegra, as they might suggest a safer alternative.
