I called my obgyn and ask a nurse if sudafed was ok to tk while pregnant n they said yes. i wanted a second opinion as it seems risky..help plz. ?

Nurse is correct: It's not risky as long as you take it as directed, not more often. If you are worried just don't use it, getting more opinions will not change the facts. Good luck!

No: Sudafed is category c Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks. I would not use any medicine while pregnant unless necessary. Please speak with your OB/GYN again if concerned

Pseudoephedrine: Pseudoephedrine works by constricting blood vessels. There are reports of birth defects possibly associated with its use in the 1st trimester, but is generally considered acceptable later in pregnancy if taken in moderation for short periods of time. The concern of reducing blood flow to the placenta is a valid one, so it, and any medication, should be considered carefully during pregnancy.
