Antihistamines

Hello! Does anyone know if it’s safe for pregnant women to take antihistamines, and if so which ones in the UK? Thanks!

Loratadine x https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/antihistamines/

As far as I know you can’t take anything- but I would talk to your dr x

As Paulina said loratadine is listed as safe on the NHS website but my midwife on Wednesday told me over the counter ones aren't safe so I need to go to the doctor 🥴

Ok thank you! That’s helpful!

It's not so much that they aren't safe as the official advice (as per the link above) is that you should consult a doctor before taking any. They'll likely say it's fine but different people have different risk factors etc! Xx

You can use Piriton (chlorphenamine) - my IVF nurse and midwife confirmed it

When I was diagnosed with Cholestatis my doctor recommended to take Chlorphenamine.

I am on prescribed loratadine, contact your GP first and then they recommend you the best option for you
