Worried about medicine

[Razzled]

I have been taking otrivine nasal spray on and off for last 10 weeks.Im now 30wks and have just been told i shouldn't use it.Has anyone else used it while pregnant? I am now really worried i may have caused damage to my unborn.
Has anyone heard of this before?

Sure you'll both be fine. Because such products can never be tested in pg women, they always have a scary warning on them saying not to be used etc etc. Sure no harm done but better to be cautious and not use it from now on. ask yr GP or pharmacist what you can safely use instead. HTH.

Thanks, i'll throw it to the back of my medicine cupboard

ah yes I did. I used it throughout my first pregnancy, as I didn't know I shouldn't. Ds1 is fine.

I was prescribed it while pg, didn't use it much cos I thought it was horrid

I have used it for years when i have a cold and just never thought any different now i am pregnant. I will just need to find an alternative
