Regular allergy since 2020
Since lockdown started I started to grow a sort of allergy where the symptoms are like severe itchy and watery eyes, running and block nose and extremely continuous sneezing for hours. I started off having generic medicines like cetirizine tablets whenever I had this allergy. This medicine stopped the situation for a few hours and again the same started. By 2022 this medicine stopped working on me and I visited a doctor who recommended my medicine course of Montas L and this kept the allergy 2-3 days away. Firstly the doc suggested that I take a six month course of this medicine on taking in regular for six months. However after 6 months the same allergy persists and every since then I am consuming that medicine. I have also tried bilastine as well but Montas L works the best. Standing today I have to take this medicine after every 3-4 days whenever I get the allergy again.
I am more worried now because my husband and I are planning for a baby and this medicine can impact.

Hello, since Bilastine is a newer drug its safety in pregnancy is still not understood clearly. The drugs safe in pregnancy are Levocetrizine, Cetrizine and Loratidine. However if you find cetrizine ineffective, you may consider strating Fluticasone nasal spray which is quite effective and safe in pregnancy. And regarding Montelukast, it is usually preferred for asthmatic patients.
Next Steps
Start Fluticasone furoate nasal spray twice daily 2 puffs in each nostril and oral cetrizine at night
Health Tips
Avoid Bilastine and montelukast
