A member asked:
What will happen to my baby if i took a cough remedy containing phenylephrine while pregnant?
1 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
OK if only rare: Taking phenylephrine chronically could cause growth restriction (small size related to decreased blood flow to the baby). Intermittent use doesn't hurt.

Blood pressure rises: If a woman has high blood pressure, it can raise it higher and be dangerous.
