Can i take muccinex if i'm pregnant? (26 wks) ?

Mucinex (guaifenesin) is category: Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks. Asking your Ob/GYN would be the best answer

Don't take it.: An unbiased study by Cochrane reviews on the usefulness of over the counter cough and cold meds showed no clear benefit. So why take a chance that it might affect the baby? You can safely use steam,plenty fluids, a Vicks' nasal inhaler to open the nose and help you to blow. You can use cepastat lozenges to numb the tickle in your throat as well.
