What does the material say about diphenhydramine use during pregnancy?

• A. Contraindicated in pregnancy
• B. Safe to use in pregnancy without precautions
• C. Caution with pregnancy
• D. Not mentioned

Answer: (C)

The material treats diphenhydramine in pregnancy as something to approach with caution. This reflects that there may be potential risks or limited data on safety for the fetus, so the drug should only be used if the benefits to the mother clearly outweigh any potential risks, and with careful consideration and monitoring. It is not described as absolutely contraindicated, nor as universally safe without precautions, and there is guidance provided (hence not “not mentioned”). That’s why the correct stance is to use with caution during pregnancy.
