Can a pregnant women drink Salvital?

Answer 1

Yes. After first three months of pregnancy. First three months of pregnancy are very vital and you should avoid all food which contains artificial colors and flavors. In these first three months only all the organs in the body of baby are developing. Unfortunately medical profession have probably neglected this aspect of coloring and flavoring agents and data on there use is not well studied or available as data for drugs is available. (One of the top most pharmaceutical company of the world is marketing in India Di (Bi) Ethyl Carbamazine syrup containing Tartrazine. Tartrazine may cause allergic symptoms including Asthma in many children. Doctors use this preparation in chronic dry cough, as it may be due to Fileriasis and Fileriasis is very common in India.) If you do not add artificial colors and flavors to food and drugs, they are not going to kill you. In developed countries, they have got the study done about coloring and flavoring agents. But still you get the babies with congenital abnormalities there also. So it is better to have simple and natural food as for as possible, during first three months of pregnancy. Medical profession have a big list of drugs which are time tested and SAFE to be used in first three months of pregnancy. So there is no need to worry about. So all recently launched drugs should be avoided during first trimester of pregnancy unless advocated by your Doctor.
