asthma drugs in pregnany- Are they safe to use

[kbaby]

Hi,

I was perscribed Salamol inhaler and symbicort inhalers to take before I became pregnant.
Anyone know if they are safe to continue using.

Thanks

they are both safe to use durin pregnancy, It is mmore important that you are oxygenating your blood well for your baby, and very little of the steriod crosses the placenta.
congratulations on your pregnancy, I hope you are healthy and happy

Hi kbaby, I am a pharmacist. I can confirm that these are fine to take in pregnancy as chapsmum has already said. Good luck.

make sure you keep control of your asthma while you're pregnant. I took several different inhalers and it was fine.

Thanks everyone. The info on the leaflets with the inhalers were pretty useless.

thanks again.
