I saw earlier that you posted for Jennifer to go off of the Claritin-D.
May I ask why? When my doctor gave me my last prescription, I told her
about our plans for pregnancy this summer and she said that I was fine.
I have asthma and use Maxair, Flovent, and Seravent too. She actually
perscribed these inhalers so I wouldn't have to go on the asthma pill in
case I was to get pregnant. What are the side effects/worries? I have
looked on their web sites but saw no adverse info about pregnacy and
these meds.
Thanks!
