A member asked:
I am 28 weeks pregnant with a sinus infection. my ear has fluid and is painful. can i take mucinex (guaifenesin) d to relieve the pain?

Yes: Always best to ask your Ob about your specific situation. However, as a general rule: Mucinex (guaifenesin) D contains Guaifenesin and Pseudoephedrine. Guaifenesin is thought to be safe pregnancy. Pseudoephedrine is not recommended in the first trimester because of possible birth-defects related to its vasoconstrictive effects. Best wishes!
