Is it ok to take ventolin and if i have an asthma attack while pregnant?

Category C drug: This medication falls into the category c listing, meaning no adverse effects are seen in human fetal development but not enough data exists to put it in a safer category. Use it as you need it, baby needs mom to be as healthy as can be.

Yes: Ventolin (albuterol) is a quick relief medication for the treatment of cough, wheezing, chest tightness and/or shortness of breath due to bronchospasm associated with asthma. It is effective and been used for many, many years in women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, etc. It's very important to have asthma controlled especially during pregnancy. If mother can't breathe, neither can baby!
