Thanks for your reply doctor. I am now approaching my 3rd trimesters but now my physician suggested me to take montek-LC 10 mg once daily in the night and continue with nasoclear drops twice a day. It's helping me a lot cos the symptoms has reduced and I am able to sleep well. Can I continue these medicines after delivery also? Can these medicines enter breast milk?
