Wheezing - 5 months pregnant

2024-01-17 11:47:53
Hi Doctor, I am 5 months pregnant. I am getting wheezing . I am using foracart 200 mg inhaler (prescribed) since 2 months for every 12 hours 2 puffs each time. Can I continue with that or is there any inhaler can I use which is safe during pregnancy. Will foracart 200 will cause any harm to baby? Thank you so much.
