Shocking hayfever - what can I take?

[~*Niadalla*~]

Hi there,
I am suffering badly with hayfever, and constantly sneezing to the point that I am getting blood noses at least daily if not more.
I live out in the country, so I cannot avoid it.

What can I take that is safe during pregnancy?
Are there certain anithistamines that are safe and unsafe? Any herbal remedies?

Cheers.

Hi there
I have been taking Phenergan for ms...which is an antihistamine? Over the counter but my Ob prescribed it. Makes you sleepy though

polaromine- i think it's the only one you can take

Rainforest is right polaramine is the only over the counter one thats safe......but it makes you drowsy there are some nasal sprays that are ok but if you are already getting blood noses they may not reccomend it

I hope your feel better soon

braur have a hayfever range that is totally safe while pg and breastfeeding

Polaramine, phenergan and avomine (same as phenergan) are ok to use. they will all make you drowsy though. You can use livostin nose spray (antihistamine) as well.

Hey Niadla - I have been using Brauer's homepathic nasal spray and I have to say its amazing, works a treat!

Poor you Nicky! I had it really bad when pg and ended up going to a natropath which worked really well, but isn't an instant fix. I used polarmine and also phenergan which was recommended by dr - makes you super sleepy though. Good luck x

Polaramine is fine to take

I had a rash and the chemist said I could take Clartyne which I know is also for hayfever.
