Is Ventolin Inhaler And Ezipect Medication Safe During Pregnancy?
Hi! I m on my 28th week of pregnancy. I have placenta previa grade 2. I developed runny nose 5 days ago with sinusitis and sneezing. Then, I started to cough with yellow thick sputum. I have abdominal cramps and my head is banging with pain whenever I cough continuously especially during sleep at night time. I am passing also small amount of urine whenever I cough and would hold my lower abdomen to ease the pain. I also have buttocks paain radiating to the legs whenever I cough in lying position. Doctor gave me ventolin inhaler and ezipect. are these medicines safe?

hi,ventolin will relieve your brochospasm and ease your breathing discomfort and ezipect will relieve your symptoms of cough.they are both safe in pregnancy.but since you have yellowe coloured expectoration also it is advisable to start tab cephelexin 500 mg three times a day for 5 days to treat the underlying infection.do take steam inhalation and do saline warm water gargles for additional relief.
