Can I take my inhaler if I am pregnant?

30-year-old woman3 years ago

I have trouble breathing and have a hissing sound in my lungs when I breathe in and out. I have been having this since I got the covid in April. I take a blue pump. I am 4 weeks pregnant. Can I take pumps when I am pregnant? What to do when this happens?

Thank you for your question!

Your blue pump (salbutamol) is safe during pregnancy, if you experience shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

I hope this has been helpful to you, and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
