Antihistamines in pregnancy

[saslia]

I was told that Polarmine (or something similar, I'm at work so can't check the pack) were safe to use all throughout pregnancy.

My ob said these were fine.

Yep i'm taking polaramine. Only the "non drowsy" ones are supposed to be avoid. I was told to start these by my dermatologist and OB has ok'd it also. They don't make me drowsy but i only take 1 in the morning and 1 at night, and only if i need it. I just had to stop them by 35 weeks so that in case bub comes early it is not "groggy"..

Polaramine is safe to take,this was the only hay fever tablet my Doctor recommended,or for a badly blocked stuffed up nose try eating fresh chopped up chillies with a meal,only if you can tolerate them,it realy helps with the nose,but be careful of the heart burn. lol.

Another vote for Polaramine. It must be safe because my doc told me to give it to my DS when he had an allergic reaction at 7 months.

You poor thing

My hayfever has been bad too lately. When I was pg with Oscar I was told that I could take Avil. They are drowsy ones but I used to take half to minimise the sleepiness but it helped my hayfever heaps.

I'd talk to your pharmacist. Obviously taking nothing is your best option but if it's really bad head down to the chemist
