Use of Foracort 200 inhaler in pregnancy
I am 8weeks pregnant. I am having cough from last 1 month. On 13 Mar 25, my pregnancy confirmed & my gynecologist advised to stop all medicines are being used for cough.
Cough with some phlegm still persists. I consulted with Dr, he said its sign of asthma & prescribed Foracort 200 inhaler to use 2 puffs thrice a day.
is it mendetory to use inhaler?
If I am not use, is there any chances to develop any chronic disease?
& f I start to use, is there any complications fir my pregnancy, any side-effects for my unborn baby?
please advice.

The advised dose is safe for your baby. You should take untill you start feeling clinically better. Allergic rhinitis is a very common symptom during pregnancy
