My sister is pregnant and she is in her 14th week of pregnancy. She is very sensitive and easily subdues to allergies. She could not get pregnant for a long time and now after 5 years of trying she is very worried for the health of her baby, while we around her are worried for her too. Her problem is allergic rhinitis and considering the fact it is early summer now, she thought of taking Vancenase. Is it safe to take this drug during pregnancy?
Basic rule for pregnancy is very simple do not take medications, especially in the first three months. Corticosteroids (this drug belongs to that group) have unwanted effects on the embryo in the first trimester. But, since Vnacenase acts locally, there is no teratogen effect on the baby. Still, a serious consultation with the doctor is necessary.
