HI,
Thanks for asking. I understand your concern.
- Cetrizine is B catagory drug in pregnancy& though there are no confirmed observations in human pregnancy being affected with cetrizine.. cetrizine should be used when the benefits of the drug overweigh the probable side effects. So take cetrizine when essential as per doctor's advise only.
In pregnancy, there is accumulation of bile salts in mothers body causing itching. This may cause liver problem So in itching during pregnancy Udiliv is given.It's a drug that improves liver function. IT can be taken safely in pregnancy.
Thanks.
