Asthma treatments and pregnancy

Don't stop taking your asthma medicine – talk to a GP, asthma nurse or specialist first. 

Most asthma medicines are safe to use in pregnancy and, if your asthma is well controlled, there's little to no risk for you or your baby. 

You should continue to take your prescribed asthma treatments throughout pregnancy. Unless your asthma gets worse, your treatment can remain the same as before. 

Your symptoms may get worse if you stop taking your medicine. This can pose a risk for your own health and increase the risk of your baby having a low birthweight.
