Is It Safe To Take Avil 25 During Pregnancy?

Hi, my wife is in her 30th weak of pregnancy, and she is suffering from Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy, n god its terrible, she cant sleep whole night. We had visited a skin doctor and is said that it will cure after the delivery and he prescribed one tablet Avil 25(Pheniramine Maleate) twice a day and a Lotion named Ciala (Calamine and Light Liquid Paraffin), are they safe to take and what else she can do to get relieved from the itching?

Hi,

Avil-25 is not known to cause any harmful effects on the baby hence can be taken safely during pregnancy. In addition to the prescribed medications I would suggest her to:
* Take an oatmeal bath or use baking soda during her bath
* Avoid hot showers and hot baths (at least lower the temperatures)
* Avoid wearing tight fitted clothing
* Not to scratch her skin as it itches
* Take plenty of oral fluids and
* Avoid stress and practice relaxation techniques

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
