I am a pregnant woman and I have allergic asthma. Can I take my pumps (pulmicort and bricanyl) while pregnant?

Question

I have been having trouble breathing for the past few hours. It doesn't stop me from doing chores around the house, but it does bother me. Thank you so much! It makes me feel much better.

Hello, You can use your 2 pumps to relieve your respiratory symptoms. The benefits associated with taking these 2 medications in pregnant women far outweigh the possible risks to the fetus. Pulmicort is one of the best documented agents for pregnant women However, it is preferable to use your 2 pumps for the shortest possible time and to stop them when the symptoms are resolved You can use your pumps even if you are taking the antibiotic Amoxicillin I hope I've clarified things for you!
