Can Montek-LC Be Taken During Pregnancy?
Question: Hi .. I am pregnant.. My doctor prescribed montek-lc tablet for allergy.. can i continue this tablet
Brief Answer:
It is most likely compatible
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
It is a Category -B drug listed by the FDA which means animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. It is most likely compatible. We can say that its use during pregnancy is justified only if the benefits outweigh the risks of its use.
If you are pregnant, you should consider discussing about continuation of the medication or get started on suitable safer alternatives. Be in regular follow-up and monitoring of your treating gynecologist/obstetrician and report any unusual/abnormal/new symptoms immediately.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
