Will taking Alli while pregnant harm the fetus I just found out I was 7 weeks?

Alli is a Category B drug. That means that it hasn't been tested on pregnant women. It didn't show any adverse affects on pregnant animals in testing, but animals and humans can react differently. Discuss it with your OBGYN.

Can you take flonase if pregnant?

Would any injection break the pregnancy?

You can have your blood taken while you are pregnant. Sometimes they use a needle to remove fluids from your belly. This usually doesn't harm the baby.

What if flu shot was not given in the muscle?

If it were given in the subcutaneous tissue, it will not hurt, but may not be effective or as effective. Ask your health care professional if you should have a second vaccination. Another vaccination would not hurt you, either.

If it were given by any other method or administration route besides IM or SubQ, you should contact your health care professional right away for advice on whether you are fully protected now, and if the administration of the drug the wrong way would have caused any untoward effect that needs treatment (this is especially true if this was somehow given IV).

You would also want to report the medication administration error to your health care professional or pharmacist so they can take action to prevent further incorrect administrations of the vaccine by whomever gave it incorrectly, or advise you on how to report it to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) in the US. VAERS tracks problems with vaccinations. See link below.

What can you take to help dizziness in pregnancy?

Morning sickness is a common symptom of pregnancy. Usually it disappears within 13 weeks, but sometimes it doesn't. This could be a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum (severe nausia and vomiting), which leads to a loss of nutrients and dehydration. If this is the case, you would probably be hospitalized and treated with intravenous fluids and medications. However for the common morning sickness, there is no successful treatment, nor are there any approved medications for it.

You have occassionally taken ibuprofen in your third trimester is your baby at risk?

No, ibuprofen is perfectly safe for you and your baby during pregnancy and even afterwards, as long as you follow the directions on the packaging. Think, what does the hospital give babies when they are little and sick? Ibuprofen or Tylenol. Don't overdose! But if you are feeling uncomfortable from cramps or pains ibuprofen is perfectly acceptable.

NO, ibuprofen is not safe to be taken during pregnancy.....drs recommend using aceteminophen during pregnancy, and the lowest dose recommended on the label. ibuprofen is typically sold as Motrin or advil, aceteminophen is sold as Tylenol. the reason that ibuprofen isn't recommended is due to the anti-imflammtory ingredients found in that particular drug. ask your dr for other safe alternatives to any medicine you may require during pregnancy

Dont listen to the first answer, listen to the second!! Ibuprofen is NOT NOT NOT safe. In recent studies of a small hole being formed in the fetus' heart, a stressor/main cause was the usage of ibuprofen products. ACETOMINOPHEN only!

Is it safe to take HCQS in pregnancy?

My wife had taken hcqs 1.5 yr before pregnancy and her Dr.(immunologist) asked to continue till 7th month. Even we have cross checked with her Gyn and found its safe during pregnancy. We had a healthy Baby boy.

Though HCQS was taken for 2 yrs there is no big change bcoz of that and we discontinued after her delivery. Now she is on different medication which is Turmeric powder + dry ginger powder+ fenugreek Powder, all 1 tea spoon in the empty stomach every morning. Which is safe and there is improvement…

However, I would suggest you to understand the situation and check with your Dr.
