Is Celestamine, Safe For Rashes, During Pregnancy?
I am suffering badly from food allergies very similar to when I was a child mixed up with hayfever and skin rashes directly related something I have eaten. I used to suffer from these red itchy skin hives as a child particularly aggrevated by red colourants and flavourants. Can I take celestamine? I am 17 weeks pregnant.

Hello,
Celestamine is an oral steroid. Avoid taking it during pregnancy. I suggest you take chlorpheniramine for relief from itching and rashes.
It is safe during pregnancy. In addition, I suggest you use a moisturizer.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
