Allergy Shots During Pregnancy
Filed in archive Allergy Medications , Asthma by ruth on February 14, 2008

Regarding allergy immunotherapy shots, the recommendation is as follows:
Women who already use immunotherapy (allergy shots) at or near maintenance level to improve asthma symptoms may continue getting shots during pregnancy. However, women should not begin immunotherapy during pregnancy. Allergy shots are typically given with lower doses of serum to start and then are gradually increased to higher levels. These escalating doses may cause anaphylaxis during pregnancy, which has been associated with maternal and fetal death.
