A member asked:
Can a pregnant woman take desloratidine tablets as antihistamine medication during the first month of pregnancy or is it a contraindication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: This drug is classified as category c in pregnancy and thus you should consider taking those with category b classification with pregnancy. In fairness, I have not seen much data linking fetal anomalies to any of the approved antihistamines. However it is better to be safe than sorry.
