Inhaled steroids seem safe for pregnant women with asthma
No evidence so far links inhaled corticosteroids to pregnancy induced hypertension and pre-eclampsia in pregnant women with asthma. In a nested case-control study, Martel and colleagues (p 230) looked at 3505 women with asthma with a total of 4593 pregnancies between 1990 and 2000. They found no evidence of the association between using inhaled corticosteroids during pregnancy and pregnancy induced hypertension and pre-eclampsia (adjusted odds ratios 1.02 and 1.06, respectively; no significant dose-response relation).
