Should women who are pregnant or nursing take Relenza?
Relenza may be of benefit for some pregnant and nursing women with 2009 H1N1 influenza. Because pregnant women who are sick from the 2009 H1N1 flu may develop more serious illness, the CDC recommends that they should be treated with a flu drug. Pregnant and nursing women are advised to talk with a healthcare professional before using Relenza.
