Preparing For Frozen Embryo Transfer. Taking Estrogen Tablets. Can Alaspan For Hives Be Taken During This?
Question: Hi, my wife is taking estrogen (premarin tablet .625mg, three times a day) to prepare for frozen embryo ransfer. However, she is having skin problem (hives) all on a sudden. While she consulted with a dermatologist, she has been prescribed Alaspan 10. Please let me know whether she can take Alaspan 10 during this cycle.
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Alaspan contains loratidine which is a category B drug. This means that even though no risk has been demonstrated in animal studies, the drugs have not been adequately tested in humans to offer any guarantees.
I would suggest the following:
a. Use calamine lotion locally on the lesions if the problem is not very severe
b. A moisturizer may also help alleviate the itching.
If the problem persists, please consult her gynaecologist who would be able to prescribe appropriate therapy.
I hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer if you have no further queries.
