Afrin (oxymetazoline) in pregnancy: At this stage in pregnancy, if it is not affecting the baby's heart beat, your doctor may advice you if you can continue to use it.

Afrin (oxymetazoline) & Pregnancy: Afrin is not considered safe during pregnancy, but you should consult with your OB about nasal drops that might be allowed during the third trimester.
