Hi Doctor, I am 5 week and 3 days pregnant, 30 year old female. I am located in Bangalore INDIA. I have diagnosed with seasonal mild intermittent asthma this year. I was prescribed Romilast (10 mg) twice in a day Seroflo (250 mg) and cetrizen once in day for 30 days . I sometimes develop breating out at night after a cold and cough . I have little dust allergy . On wheezing , I always take Seroflo and I feel better with the first single dose. Now I am pregnant so I want to know what are the side effects for these medicines if in continue taking them? Please advice
Hi, what the doctor prescribed is correct, recent studies suggest no harm to baby on using inhaler steroids, u can safely use them. Oral thrush and sore throat has been implicated to the patient but by rinsing mouth with water after using medicine can safely avoid above problems. Asthma is better controlled by keeping environment clean and use of inhaler steroids as when required. Wish you a good health.
