Maternal allergy and lactation
Oral antihistamines are recommended for simple atopic conditions such as hay fever in the breast feeding mother. Sedating antihistamines such as chlorpheniramine and clemastine can cause infant drowsiness, hence, non-sedating alternatives should be sought. Examples include terfenadine for hay fever or cetrizine for urticaria.
The intranasal route is associated with low systemic absorption.
