A member asked:

Can a astma inhaler affect the result of a pregrancy test?

NO effect =preg test: Asthma inhalers have no effect on pregnancy tests mainly because they deliver medication locally --to the lungs. A urine pregnancy test measures a hormone (b-hcg) that comes directly from the placenta.

No: The ingredients in asthma inhalers are not known to interfere with the results of pregnancy tests. If you are concerned or you are having difficulty reading a home pregnancy, see your doctor. They will be glad to help.
