Can I use Otrivin for congestion if I am trying to get pregnant? I will know in 2 weeks if I am pregnant. Can I still use it or is it not recommended?

Hello!
The first thing to do against congestion if you are pregnant is to clean your nose with saline water (Sinus Rinse, Hydrasense). Ideally, pregnant women should take as little medication as possible.
However, if this is not enough, yes Otrivin Original Formula can be used for the shortest possible time and a maximum of 3 days due to the risk of rebound congestion.
I wish you a good day,
Marie-Laurence Gauthier, pharmacist.
