I don't belive it is, Ask your Ob-Gyn first. Mine would only allow Clairtin or Sudfed.

I told my ob that my normal allergy med is Zyrtec and he did not change it or tell me to take the claritin. When I had to switch dr's the new dr prefered claritin but was ok with Zyrtec. He has not told me to change. Talk to ur ob and ask why he/she may pick one over the other.
Good luck and congrats on the pregancy
