Is It Safe To Use Advair During Pregnancy?

0 votes
I am an asthmatic and would like to know whether I can use my inhaler when I am pregnant. I want to know if I can use Advair particularly. I also want to know whether there are any long term adverse effects of using inhalers and losing your fertility. Is there any chance that you may not be able to have a baby? I would be grateful if someone could clarify my doubt for me as soon as possible.

Advair is under FDA Pregnancy Category C. It is not known whether it will harm an unborn baby. It must only be used when clearly needed.  It is best to consult your physician as he will determine if the benefit of taking the drug during pregnancy will outweigh the possible risks.
