Was diagnosed with severe bronchitis. is it safe to take robitussin (guaifenesin) ac at 34 weeks gestation? dosage is 2tsp every 6 hours as needed.

NOT recommended: Robitussinac contains category c drugs: Codeine and guaifenesin. However, like other narcotics, Codeine rapidly crosses the placenta. Neonatal Codeine withdrawal has occurred even in infants whose mothers were taking Codeine at cough suppressant doses for as little as ten days prior to delivery. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Just plain Robitussin or +dm is better. Get well soon.

Robitussin (guaifenesin) is ok: Robitussin (guaifenesin) is frequently used during pregnancy. It sounds like your doctor is aware of your problem and has prescribed this medication. I would follow the doctors advice. The known risks of untreated severe bronchitis could be serious.
