Can I take anything for allergies that is safe while breastfeeding?

Check with your OB, but Claritin, Allegra, and Zyrtec are all Pregnancy Category B, which means they are believed to be safe during pregnancy.

Not sure about breastfeeding, but when I was pregnant my OB/GYN told me I could take Claritin. Ask your doctor.

Antihistimines will dry up your milk supply quickly- so be sure to check with your dr or pediatrician (mine suggested saline nose drops, but they didn't really help much) before you take anything even OTC!! Good luck- hope you feel better!!

Yes. Tylenol allergy. Call you pharmacy, if you don't know your pharmacy number mine is 410-551-5141 (CVS). I breastfeed and I take that.
