Advice for pregnant women: Avoid allergy drugs as much as possible

Allergy medications may be dangerous to the fetus.

The German Society of Allergy and Asthma said that allergy medications may pose a risk to the fetus;

It may cause fetal growth retardation, premature birth, low blood sugar, low blood pressure in the fetus, or fetal disorders.

To avoid these risks, the pregnant woman should treat allergic rhinitis "hay fever", for example, without medicinal pills or nasal sprays as much as possible, by avoiding the times of pollen spread, closing the doors and windows of the house well, and not taking clothes loaded with pollen to the bedroom.

If the symptoms are very severe, then medication should be taken.

Because severe asthma attacks, for example, pose a greater risk to the fetus than drugs.

In general, women with allergies should be subject to close medical supervision during pregnancy to relieve troubles on the one hand, and to avoid side effects of drugs on the fetus on the other hand.
