As per a study done by American researcher, over-the-counter decongestants used to relieve nasal congestion during pregnancy have the potential to cut the risk of preterm birth in expecting mothers.
The study leader and epidemiologist at the Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH), Rohini Hernandez, said in a press release:
“Maybe this can provide some clues as to how to prevent preterm delivery. The more we can learn about what could potentially cause preterm birth would help our understanding in how to stop it."
