A member asked:

I'm 6wks pregnant and i took nasalnex for the first and last time last night and forgot that it's a perscribed medicine ..is this any harm to my baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not with one dose: The safety of this medicine for use during pregnancy has not been established. Only minimal amounts of the medicine pass into the bloodstream after using the nasal spray. However, the manufacturer states that this medicine is not recommended for use in pregnancy unless the potential benefit to the mother outweighs any risk to the developing baby. Seek medical advice from your doctor.
