I have been on Allegra and Astelin for 2 years for my allergies. I want to have a healthy pregnancy but I dont want to give up my allergy meds. How can I find out what category these meds are under for pregnancy? I know allergies seem minor but I live in the deep south and my throat swells shut everytime I come off the meds for more than two days.

Here is a link to a site where you can research your medications regarding pregnancy and breastfeeding.

You should talk to your doctor – I have allegies, too and she ok’d me to take Benedryl and the regular Claritin.
Best wishes for a happy & healthy pregnancy!
i’m looking at my list from the doctor here and it says you can take Claritin while you are pregnant. i hope this it helps.
