Safe in pregnancy : The ingredients you describe are vitamins and an antihistamine that is know to improve appetite. Cyproheptadine is a category b in pregnancy and thus is determined to be safe in pregnancy.

Consult wpharmacist : If you're in your first trimester pregnancy, you need to discuss this with your ob/gyn doctor. Also the clinical pharmacist can help you in terms of looking up certain supplements, and their safety profile during pregnancy. It's always good to be informed about the safety of anything that you're taking right now. So glad you asked. It's important that your nutrition is optimal during this period for both you and your baby.
