Question 1

is nyquil and dayquil safe to take while 9weeks 5days pregnant??

Accepted Answer

No, read the label: No it is not. If you read the label there is a huge amount of alcohol in those products not conducive to your fetus and pregnancy. I have often wondered why there is no tax label on Nyquil which could easily be sold in liquor stores with a "proof rating".

Question 2

can you take dayquil when you are pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Talk with OB but no: Dayquil contains acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, pseudoephedrine. Acetaminophen (tylenol) is ok but the other two are class c which most OB do not allow. Use nasal saline.
Class c: studies on animals show adverse effect and toxicity on fetus. No adequate and well controlled studies done on pregnant women. Drugs should be given only if potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.

Question 5

TNTC!: "TNTC" means"too numerous to count," but there are some caveats.  Smoking, including smokeless tobacco, is a no-no.  So are any illegal drugs and marijuana.
