antihistamine

Avatar f tn not life or death type allergies, but sneezing, itchy nose and eyes, headaches. I take a one a day antihistamine to deal with it. .. but it says on the box not to take if pregnant. Im only 7 weeks, and have stopped taking them... but my allergies are horrible at the moment. All the sneezing is not helping with my morning sickness. During my last pregancey my symptoms actually went away but not this time... my question is can i take my antihistamine?
666921 tn?1254990618 I personally don't take antihistamine but just some advice I read that - antihistamine suppresses the immune system - never thought about it before - they work like steroids - some very good advice on another forum was - do not take antihistamine if you have lyme I am sure some of you already knew this but just thought I would mention it

906115 tn?1344200509 *** Bendectin Making a Comeback Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy is the most common condition in pregnancy and affects up to 80 percent of all pregnant women. Prior to its withdrawal in 1983 the morning sickness drug Bendectin was widely used throughout the world to treat nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. Its original three active ingredients were doxylamine succinate (an antihistamine), dicyclomine (an antispasmodic), and pyridoxine (vitamin B6). Bendectin was first marketed in the U.S.
Avatar n tn Watermelon, or ask your doctor for diglegis. Safest medication for pregnant women, it's an antihistamine and vitamin combination that really helps! Watermelon naturally helps soothe the stomach. Some say ginger but it made me worse. Also make sure your stomach is never empty, keep snacks by the bed, empty stomach makes it worse!
Avatar n tn It might make you drowsy though since it has an antihistamine in it.
Avatar f tn Hi, my dermatologist has prescribed me a antihistamine for my itching and wants me to use it for 4-6 weeks. The med is called hydroxzine. I am concerned because i never heard of anyone using antihistamine for that long. Will this severly affect my liver? Please help!
Avatar f tn I see a ton of pregnant women working at maternity stores. I think it's very smart to have women with child working in places like that. I also have seen women at drug stores, Babies R Us, or maybe another daycare?
Avatar f tn I live in Tennessee. My job post is actually a sitting down position except for rounds I have to make every hour... Outside. I thought about working at a call center, think I'll look into that. I am also concerned about job security switching jobs but I will likely keep my current job but I WILL need a part time one also so that I'm not living check to check. Thanks for all the suggestions!
Avatar f tn Since then I have avoided taking any antihistmaines except for Benadryl. I did take an occasional Claritin but it seems like every time I did anything I break out more. My allergist told me to try Claritin tabs instead of gel caps but I took one after having my allergy shot and I broke out in hives again. Now all the pollen is out and my eyes are really itchy and red and I have a hard time seeing at work. I tried taking Atarax last night to see if that would help more than Benadryl.
Avatar f tn When you go to medical school you learn that and that you shouldnt treat pregnant women any difrent then non. Yea things are more dificult but we asked for it. We need to do things ourself we should be able to do anything we could before. Speacil treatment is unneeded. If you cant stand in line that is your problem and not everyone elses you need to figure out ways around it.
Avatar f tn I just found out I'm pregnant and I don't have an appointmet with my doctor for two weeks. I had been taking singulair and zyrtec but I stopped until I can clear it with my doctor. Are these medicines safe and if not is there a safe one out there?
Avatar f tn You should also consult your doctor since there is a condition pregnant women get during pregnancy that causes itchy skin
Avatar f tn I've had horrible nausea for 6 weeks, I had to take some time off work. My doctor also gave me Diclegis, it's the safest class for pregnant women and the most tested in pregnant women. It's been around for a really long time but it just came back on the market in the US. All it is is a vitamin and antihistamine in one pill, time released. Docs have been prescribing them separately for ages. It works fine for me, every woman is different though.
Avatar n tn DSM-IV does not classify medications. Coricidin is an antihistamine, not a mental health medication.
Avatar f tn You are supposed to use mucinex but the one that ONLY has Guaifenesen--nothing with an antihistamine. I used it and I did get pregnant, but it was a chemical pregnancy--age related, nothing to do with the mucinex. Good luck!
Avatar m tn thanks for the reply, yes i googled that before messaging and the only one it shows is Seldane, because of the problem with this antihistamine and that it had been taking off the market (not a newer antihistamine), i wanted to know of any other antihistamines? are there no others for enlarged prostate sufferers? 2nd question is after stopping the intake of antihistamine that effect the prostate, woiuld these be a short term effect and the prostate goes back to how it was?
Avatar n tn I just looked at several websites about this and only found 2 answers. One, there IS a cialis made for women. Two, women should not take cialis for men. No reason was given. Sorry that's all I have for you.
Avatar f tn how bad is caffeine for a 7 week pregnant women? I Love coffee and coke but everyone keeps telling me I can't have it. Is it a serious matter?
Avatar n tn If you use an antihistamine thinking it's an allergy when indeed it's really a heart problem, the antihistamine can make the heart worse, so you must get a diagnoses before you treat..... Licking air is usually Nausea or acid reflux....Post nasal drip normally causes a cough...Good luck & let us know what you find out....
