Is my salbutamol/ventolin asthma inhaler safe during pregnancy?

27-year-old woman4 years ago

I wanted to know if taking my pump is harmful to the baby? I take Apo-salvent CFC free at night. Would it be better to take ventolin? I am pregnant. I am 12 weeks. I have asthma.

Good evening Madam, and congratulations!

apo Salvent is a generic of the original drug, Ventolin. Both contain the same medication which is safe during pregnancy
