Can avil tablet use during pregnancy?
Patient: pregnancy test positive after FET but am allergic to inj gestone . taking Hald injection, another brand of progesterone but am still getting thev allergic rashes. i have been advised to take tab avil , (chlorpheniramine ). is it safe in early pregnancy/ Doctor: Hi,Oral antihistamines, like cetirizine (Zyrtec), chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton), diphenhydramine (Benadryl), fexofenadine (Allegra), and loratadine (Claritin) seem to be safe. Avil is an antihistamine commonly used for the treatment of symptoms associated with allergies and cold. It is considered safe to take during pregnancy, but because it can cause drowsiness, so I would suggest less sedative loratadine or cetirizine for the treatment of allergic rashes.Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
