Key Considerations for Nebulizer Use While Pregnant:- Safety of Medications: Albuterol is considered safe and is a first-choice rescue medication. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are also generally safe, with no, or very low, risk of birth defects.
- Risks of Untreated Asthma:
- Miscarriage Risk: Some data suggests that high-dose inhaled corticosteroids might slightly increase the risk of miscarriage.
- Medication-Specific Risks: Some medications, such as Airsupra (albuterol/budesonide), may not have enough studies to confirm safety, with animal studies showing potential issues.
