    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Pulmonology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Asthma is a common respiratory condition that can affect pregnant individuals.
    • Managing asthma during pregnancy requires careful consideration of medication safety for both mother and fetus.
    • Corticosteroids are effective asthma medications but their use in pregnancy warrants evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of corticosteroid use in pregnant patients with asthma.
    • To determine if maternal or infant abnormalities are associated with corticosteroid treatment during pregnancy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 36 pregnant patients with asthma requiring corticosteroid therapy.
    • Review of maternal and infant health outcomes following corticosteroid exposure.

    Main Results:

    • No maternal abnormalities were observed in the study group.
    • No infant abnormalities were detected in infants born to mothers receiving corticosteroids.
    • Corticosteroids effectively controlled asthma symptoms in the evaluated pregnant patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Corticosteroid therapy is a safe and effective option for managing asthma in pregnant individuals.
    • The benefits of controlling maternal asthma with corticosteroids outweigh potential risks.
    • Healthcare providers should not hesitate to prescribe corticosteroids to pregnant patients when indicated for asthma control.
