Lagundi Safety in Pregnancy and Alternative Respiratory Management

Evidence-Based Alternatives for Respiratory Issues

• The European Respiratory Society suggests that inhaled medications for asthma, such as salbutamol and budesonide, have been used for many years without documented adverse fetal effects, while uncontrolled respiratory disease poses well-documented risks 1
• The Americanogle evidence indicates that the risk of undertreated respiratory disease resulting in maternal hypoxia has well-described adverse effects on the fetus that far exceed medication risks 1
• The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends penicillins and cephalosporins as the safest antibiotic classes for bacterial respiratory infections during pregnancy 3

Clinical Recommendations for Respiratory Management

• The European Respiratory Society recommends using evidence-based treatments with established safety profiles rather than herbal remedies with unknown risks for respiratory symptoms during pregnancy 1, 2
