Pregnant women should always consult their doctors about what kinds of over-the-counter meds and herbal remedies are appropriate to take. Many meds that treat 'cold, cough, and flu' can also raise blood pressure.
There are some who say it is not safe and others who say it is. The best thing to do is to ask your doctors. Here are the responses: No. Mucinex DM is not safe to take while pregnant. The plain Mucinex without the decongestant (DM) is safe to take. No. Mucinex DM is not safe to take while pregnant. The plain Mucinex without the decongestant (DM) is safe to take. The "DM" portion of the medication is not a decongestant. It stands for Dextromethorphan which is a cough suppressant...and which (in the form of Robitussin DM) is considered safe by many OB doctors. Mucinex DM is safe during pregnancy. Had the same issue today actually. 12 weeks pregnant and unsure of what to take. Went to CVS without my cell so I couldn't call my OB. I asked the pharmacist and he said mucinex DM would be best. He recommended not taking anything with sudafed or phenylephrine in it, which rules out any type of Tylenol cold medicine. Mucinex DM is not a decongestant, its a cough suppressant. Mucinex D is the decongestant. If you're congested and coughing, take the Mucinex DM for the cough and a saline nasal spray for the congestion. Pharmacist recommended method.
is it safe to take mycinex after taking albuterol
It is only safe to take Klonopin (an anti-seizure, anti-anxiety medication) and Mucinex DM (an exptorant) if you are NOT pregnant. If you are pregnant, however, neither of these medications should be taken without your doctor's express approval. Klonopin can cause birth defects to a fetus, and can pass into breast milk when breast feeding. So if you aren't pregnant, but are breast feeding, do not take this medication without your doctor's express approval. Otherwise, yes, you can take both of these medications together.
yes I was given a prescription at 35 weeks
It is not advised to take cold medicine while pregnant, consult a physician first.
I was prescribed this medication twice during my first trimester...once at 4 weeks and another at 10 weeks. It is safe for pregnant women!
My Doctor has just prescribed them for me and I am 25 weeks pregnant. She says they are perfectly safe in pregnancy so I am hoping that this is the case....
can you take mucinex and coumadin
can you take xyzal and mucinex together
Yes it is safe to take Zyrtec with Mucinex D. However you should only take both if they are to treat different symptoms. It is not recommended to take both to treat the same symptom which may lead to over medication.
You can be up to two weeks late and not be pregnant but to be safe you should take a pregnancy test after you are seven days late.
The packaging states not to take if pregnant
