Does Usage Of Montek-Lc During Pregnancy Affects The Fetus?

I am 42 years old, five feet tall, about 65kgs weight. I doubt I conceived and going through 2nd week of pregnancy. I am using Montek-Lc for the last 2years. Is it safe to use this drug during pregnancy? Does it affect the foetus in any way? Should I stop taking this drug immediately?

Hi,

Montek-Lc contains both Montelukast and Cetirizine that is used in the treatment of allergic symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, itching, congested or stuffy nose, cough etc. It is considered a safe during pregnancy. If your doctor has prescribed this medication, then you can take this medication.

But without your doctor's permission, you should not start taking this medication as well as other medications during pregnancy. This medication's both ingredients like Montelukast and Cetirizine are considered safe to use during pregnancy. So, according to your doctor's advice, you can take this medication during pregnancy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
