Claritin D while pregnant?

Question

I have been so congested the last 2 weeks and haven’t been able to sleep. So I called my ob and asked what I could do/take to help. He said to take Claritin D 12hr. I know my doctor said it’s ok but just curious to see what you ladies think.

Answer

Claritin D which contains pseudoephedrine is not safe during pregnancy. Please contact you OB before taking it and do no trust the answers of the poll results from people that aren’t doctors.

Answer

Claritin D is not okay, but regular Claritin is... but to make sure please ask your OB before taking it.

Answer

My doc said decongestants are fine until 28 weeks.

Answer

Claritin, not Claritin D. The “D” indicates that it contains pseudoephedrine which I believe is not considered safe during pregnancy. 
Claritin you can get over the counter. Claritin D required you to get it from behind he pharmacy and show your ID. Good rule of thumb is to not take “OTC” medications that require you to show you ID to purchase.
