1.Asthma treatment during pregnancy is tailored to your symptoms and severity, and it’s important to follow a plan that works best for you. Based on international guidelines, there are several safe and effective medication options and preferably some other combination than single drug alone would be a better choice even if you gold mild asthma.
2.One of the most important things to understand is that poor asthma control—especially during flare-ups—can lead to reduced oxygen levels,which may affect the baby and increase risks like fetal distress.
3.The key is adherence: taking your medication regularly and not stopping or reducing it without consulting your pulmonologist.
4.So please stay on track with your treatment, attend your follow-up visits and let your doctor know right away if your symptoms change.
Finally if you want to choose -better be salbutamol than levosal as of my knowledge.But always stick to your own doctor’s advice as he knows your condition better.

Hi. I understand your concern. Do a online consult for a detailed analysis of your symptoms and tp suggest you further management plan and treatment prescription for the same. Both are not sufficient

Levasalbutalmol is safer. Always consult your dr for better care during pregnancy and related asthma issues.
