Can you take clariten-d?

Question

Does anyone know if you can take clariten-d for a cold while pregnant?

Answer 1

My OB/GYN told me yes for claritin and no for benadryl.

Answer 2

they told me i could take it for my allergies, as well as benadryl

Answer 3

My OB told me yes but I would only recommend it for short periods of time. I LOVE Claritin-D and took it a lot prior to becoming pregnant- bad allergies!!!! Well I started taking it after my doctor told me I could and took it for a good 3-4 weeks straight and then my baby developed heart palpitations. The doctor honestly said though it had nothing to do with the psuedoephedrine but I stopped taking it that day and the heart murmur went away... I would say you're fine, but just take it sparingly and not daily like I was doing... Make sure you clarify with your doctor that it's Claritin D and not just Claritin and ask how long... They should have a good answer for you. Sorry i wasn't trying to scare you I was just giving my story!
