Is fexofenadine (antihistamine) ok to take whilst pregnant?

Question

I have a holiday coming up (only away for the week) so was planning on starting to take my antihistamine tablets that I got prescribed before my holiday but are they safe to take during pregnancy?

Answer

Call doctor or pharmacy to ask if safe while pregnant.  Please seek professional opinion.

Answer

Chlorpheniramine is usually preferred during pregnancy. Best to call obgyn and ask then.

Answer

Anything drug related is best run by a healthcare professional rather than an opinionated internet mob 🤷🏼‍♀️
