ObGyn/Pregnancy issues - pregnancy


Expert: Lawrence Jay Rappaport <B>M.D.</B> - 8/2/2004

Question
is it safe to use advair inhailer during pregnancy?

Answer
Advair contains a steroid and a Beta agonist, and is acceptable for use during  pregnancy. It  has not shown to have any teratogenic effects on the fetus. However, it is a category C medication and, as such, there have not been any controlled studies on humans (only animals). Therefore, it should be used during pregnancy, only if it has to be used.
