Does Ventolin Have An Effect On Embryo Implantation?
Question: Dear Doctor, I have just received an embryo transfer (via egg donor) on 30 Aug. Immediately the next day i came down badly with acute bronchitis. My chest is tight, i feel breathless, i have violent coughs and my chest is filled with phelgm. I was administered with 5mg of ventolin for temporary relief and not taking any other meds. Its 4th day after the transfer and i'm still coughing incessantly. Pls tell me if this will affect the embryo implantation? Many thanks. XXXXXXX
Brief Answer:
SAFE. NO HARMFUL EFFECT ON IMPLANTATION.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:
1) VENTOLIN (Salbutamol) is SAFEST drug during pregnancy and there is NO effect on embryo implantation or growing fetus.
2) Acute bronchitis is MOSTLY self-limiting disease and lasts for few days or weeks. Inhaled Salbutamol (Short acting)/ Salmeterol (Long acting) is preferred at this stage.
Safe anti-histamines (like Chlorpheniramine) and mast cell stabilizer like Sodium chromoglycate can be given to reduce violent cough. Kindly, consult with your treating physician for complete prescription.
3) Some general measures can improve your condition to some extent:
a) Avoid smoky environment, dust particle, allergen etc.
b) Breathe moist air from a humidifier or hot shower for moistening mucus in the airway tract.
c) Drink plenty of fluids or water to stay hydrated properly.
d) Wash your hands often and avoid contact with people who are sick with cold or the flu.
Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.
Wish your good health and take care yourself.
Regards,
Dr S Patra

Thank you very much Dr Patra for your clear and helpful response. Will the reduced intake of oxygen and lowered immunity lead to lower implantation rate? Im concerned this inflammation might have created a less than conducive environment for the implantation. Appreciate your expert insights and sincerely thank you.
Brief Answer:
MAY LOWER IMPLANTATION RATE.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up query.
Low immunity and reduced oxygen supply may alter environment of implantation if you leave the inflammatory process (Bronchitis) without proper treatment or remedy.
I suggest you to follow previous advices and consult with your physician for complete prescription.
Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion and rate the answer.
All the best and good luck.
